The conference takes place in a year marking the 35th anniversary of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ offices in the Baltic countries, highlighting the long-standing partnership between the Nordic and Baltic regions.

Amid growing geopolitical tensions and the recent synchronisation of Nordic-Baltic energy systems, strengthening regional energy cooperation has become increasingly important. Building resilient energy systems capable of withstanding crises, hybrid threats and disruptions is now a shared priority across the region.

In a joint statement, the organisers emphasise the importance of strengthening collaboration across the region regarding both energy securtity and climate goals:

“The NB8 Energy Conference connects government, industry and researchers on the topic of energy. By uniting key regional stakeholders to address shared challenges in civil energy security through a focus on clean energy technology and sustainable actions, the conference serves as a framework for strengthening cooperation in the Nordic-Baltic region on energy matters.”

The statement is signed by:

Klaus Skytte, CEO, Nordic Energy Research
Nina Hvid Enevoldsen, Director, Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Latvia
Maria Gratschew, Director, Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Estonia
Ole Andreas Lindeman, Director, Nordic Council of Ministers Office in Lithuania
