he VEF 2023 is designed to facilitate a multi-sectoral, multi-stakeholder, and interdisciplinary dialogue on sustainable energy for inclusive development and productive capacities. In 2023 we will be back in person, at the Hofburg Conference center on the 2nd and 3rd of November.

As a flagship platform designed to spur action, this year’s edition will bring together key stakeholders and experts to explore and deliberate on the key topics that advance sustainable development in the energy domain. Senior government representatives and leading experts will discuss key priorities, offer local perspectives, and highlight opportunities and potential solutions that also contribute to global climate action.

The sessions will delve into key priorities, showcase projects, and highlight the action-oriented steps required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, helping to forge an inclusive pathway that leaves no one behind as we work to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
