Policymakers, business leaders and experts from technology and financial industries from 120 countries are expected to discuss energy security and ways to boost investments at the global forum, India Energy Week, 2026, to be held in Goa from January 27-30.

A spokesperson of the event organisers said that as the first major international energy gathering of the year, the IEW 2026 will focus on strengthening energy security, catalysing investment and advancing practical and scalable pathways for decarbonisation.

As global energy systems navigate rising demand, geopolitical uncertainties and accelerating climate commitments, IEW 2026 will serve as a key platform for dialogue and cooperation.

"Hosted under the patronage of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, and jointly organised by the Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry (FIPI) and dmg events, IEW 2026 provides a neutral and globally connected forum for cooperation on energy security, affordability and sustainability," said the spokesperson.
