Add to calendar
Event overview
For five decades, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has been cooperating with international experts to help set the energy technology agenda and convene decision-makers, advising governments all around the world.
This work has never been as important as it is today, with innovation required to play a critical role in enabling faster transitions to a more secure and sustainable energy sector.
The 2025 edition of the Energy Innovation Forum (EIF) was co-hosted by the IEA and the Government of Canada on 29 October 2025, the day prior to the G7 Energy and Environment Ministers’ Meeting in Toronto.
The event’s primary objectives were to identify key opportunities and risks facing energy technology innovation, inform senior decision-makers about high-impact actions for prioritisation in the near term, and highlight the importance of international cooperation.
