The 14th International Energy and Investment Days took place on October 15–16, 2025, at the Novi Sad Fair, under the slogan “Green. Digital. Local.” The event was jointly organized by the Novi Sad Fair and E3 International, in cooperation with the Provincial Secretariat for Energy, Construction and Transport, and the City of Novi Sad.
The E3 International team coordinated the conference segment of the event, which featured four panel discussions on:
- Energy Transition in the Building Sector
- Energy Transition in Industry
- Financial Instruments and Financing Models for Energy Efficiency
- Decarbonization and Sustainability – A Future Without Emissions
The two-day event gathered representatives of national and local governments, financial institutions, building managers, companies, and energy experts from across the Western Balkans, fostering open dialogue, knowledge exchange, and cross-sector partnerships.
Speakers emphasized that successful energy transition requires not only technology and finance but also public engagement and supportive policy frameworks. As Bonnie Norman, President of E3 International, noted, “The real challenge for the energy transition lies in developing effective investment de-risking mechanisms, raising awareness, and inspiring the willingness to act for both individual benefit and the public good.”
The discussions also highlighted progress achieved in financing building energy retrofits, the growing role of technical assistance in bridging design and finance, and the importance of digitalization for transparent and data-driven decision-making.
The 2025 edition of the Energy and Investment Days was recognized as a successful and inspiring event, serving as a regional accelerator of ideas, partnerships, and policies shaping the green transition in the Western Balkans.
From ideas to implementation – this year’s Energy and Investment Days showed how collaboration between governments, banks, and citizens is driving the region’s green transition.
