Increasingly, the world has come to terms with the fact that we are facing a problem unlike any other that we have ever faced before. Decades of exploiting the Earth to fuel the growth and prosperity of our nations, has left our energy resources drained and facing the prospect of depletion. It has also created irreversible harm to the planet we live in. Soaring oil prices and rapid climate change bears testament to this.
The solution to this problem requires a cross-discipline approach with inputs from the different realms of academia, technology, politics and economics. With this also comes the birth of a budding new industry with immense economic potential. As part of the International Energy Week to be held in Singapore from 3-7th November 2008, the summit seeks to highlight these opportunities and challenges while engaging the future leaders of tomorrow in dialogue with the leaders of today.
