IEA to establish regional cooperation centre in Singapore

The centre will start operations in the second half of 2024.

The International Energy Association (IEA) will be setting up a Regional Cooperation Centre in Singapore, marking its first venture outside its headquarters in Paris, France.

In a joint statement, the IEA and the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry said the regional office will work with all countries in Southeast Asia and beyond to improve energy security and energy transition.

It will focus on IEA’s activities and engagements which include providing policy guidance, technical assistance, and training and capacity building with a focus on scaling up renewables, clean energy technologies, cross-border trade, and investments.

“This new office will allow us to significantly increase the IEA’s engagement with Southeast Asia, which is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing regions in the world and will be critical to the energy transition. Through the Centre, we stand ready to accompany all of the countries in the region as they strive to provide affordable, reliable and modern energy for all their citizens,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
