Budapest Geothermal Energy Summit

The Budapest Geothermal Energy Summit has become leading regional forum which brings together policymakers, industry experts, corporate leaders, technology pioneers and sustainable leaders from the region and beyond to discuss the potential of geothermal energy. Due to the special position of Hungary, the CEE region and the Carpathian Basin the Budapest Geothermal Summit has become real European Geothermal hub.

Stakeholders discuss the main opportunities and challenges of geothermal energy, sharing their views on the current state of knowledge and technology and presenting why more attention should be given to utilising geothermal energy in Hungary and the wider region.
