#ACEF2015 is proud to announce HE Maria van der Hoeven #VanderHoeven_M Executive Director, International Energy Agency #IEA, will be a keynote speaker at the Forum. Maria van der Hoeven took over as Executive Director of the IEA on 1 September 2011 and has led the Agency during a period of exceptional change in the global energy economy, as rapidly shifting supply/demand balances for oil and other major fuels transform the IEA’s traditional mandate.
She has responded by enhancing IEA engagement with key non-member countries including Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa. Under her leadership, the IEA admitted its 29th member, Estonia, and increased its co-operation with OPEC and the International Energy Forum (IEF) as well as signed a partnership accord with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
