The theme of FORTE 2025 — “Power in Partnership: Civil-Military Synergy for Energy Security” — highlights the growing need for cooperation between civilian and military stakeholders in an increasingly complex energy landscape.
Join leading minds from government, military, academia, and industry to discuss a wide range of the most pressing energy security challenges. This year, we invite discussions about the cooperation between civilian and military stakeholders in areas such as military infrastructure resilience, operational energy and lessons learned from Ukraine. The conference will also explore hybrid threats, innovation, and whole-of-society defence strategies in the context of energy resilience.
