Panel: Energy leadership in a new era of competition

Intensifying conflict, strategic competition, supply disruptions, and rising energy demand are reshaping the international environment. In this landscape, energy is not only a source of resilience, but also a foundation for economic opportunity, industrial strength, and strategic advantage. This panel will examine how governments and companies are positioning energy production, infrastructure, trade, and investment to manage volatility while unlocking new opportunities for growth. Bringing together perspectives from policy, production, and global markets, the conversation will explore the United States’ energy dominance agenda, the role of energy in strengthening competitiveness, the resilience of commodity flows, and the importance of private-sector investment and execution in building energy systems that can navigate disruption and advance strategic interests.
