Since its inception, the EnergyPact Foundation has engaged the international energy community through activities aimed at raising the global awareness on issues related to energy development and sustainability. These activities have included coordination and sponsorship of multiple international conferences for information exchange and confidence building. The EnergyPact Foundation intends to further focus its efforts by addressing energy and cyber security, including through the establishment in Vienna of an annual platform of dialogue and international co-operation on the subject. This platform aims to bring together decision makers, political and industry leaders, experts, international organisations and NGO’s. The inaugural multi-stakeholder conference in Vienna, “Cyberspace, Energy & Development: Protecting Critical Energy Infrastructures”, which will take place on February 16, 2017, will be hosted by the National Defence Academy, co-organised by the EnergyPact Foundation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Austria and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and supported by international organizations.
