Road to Riyadh: What to Expect at the 2026 World Energy Congress

Saudi Arabia is set to host the 27th World Energy Congress in October 2026, marking a historic moment for the Kingdom's energy sector. The Congress will bring together global leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss the future of energy and sustainable development.

The Saudi FEL program is actively preparing to lead youth engagements at this landmark event. From proposed site visits and youth-focused sessions to exclusive programs and an energy hackathon, the FEL team is working to ensure that young energy professionals have a meaningful presence at the Congress.

As part of the "Road to Riyadh" initiative, the program will host virtual sessions and publish articles exploring how global energy priorities align with the Riyadh 2026 pillars. These activities will help build momentum and engagement leading up to the Congress, ensuring that Saudi youth are well-prepared to contribute to the global energy conversation.
