Time: All day
Location: Innovation Hub, Asian Development Bank

Join us for the Future of Energy Exhibition, where you can engage in three exciting ways.

First, through futures thinking interviews, participants can gather their ideas and perspectives on the future of energy. This activity will be aiming to use community-driven foresight to envision the sector's future.

Second, there is a physical space that showcases videos related to ADB’s energy sector projects, providing participants with insights into the current and past projects and highlighting ADB's contributions and impact.

Lastly, the Future Museum allows participants to engage with futuristic visions of the energy sector and provide their thoughts and feedback on these concepts. This activity blends forward-thinking perspectives with current achievements and future possibilities, fostering a collaborative environment for innovative ideas and solutions.

We look forward to see you there!
