Established as MIT’s largest event outside the United States and one of the main global references in innovation and energy, the Energy Summit 2025 will bring together major names in science, technology, government and private initiative on June 24, 25 and 26, at Cidade das Artes, in Rio de Janeiro. The program will feature more than 200 speakers, including international and national leaders with strong influence in the energy scenario.
This year's edition aims to deepen discussions on topics such as decarbonization, green hydrogen, artificial intelligence, nuclear energy, digital infrastructure and nuclear fusion, with emphasis on sessions in the form of masterclasses and thematic panels.
For Hudson Mendonça, CEO of Energy Summit, the event is a global showcase for Brazil’s energy potential. “Bringing together scientists, executives, policymakers and innovators in the same space is essential to accelerate real solutions to the challenges of the energy transition. Brazil has a leading role in this process, and Energy Summit is the ideal environment for this articulation to happen,” he emphasized.
