Ukrainian Energy Forum,  the major event in domestic fuel and energy complex, that includes "Oil & Gas 2009", "Power and Energy 2009" and "CHEMINDEXPO’ 2009” as well as the International Scientific and Practical Conference will take place in Kiev on 3-5 November.

The Forum is aimed at introduction of strategic directions of domestic fuel and energy complex, trends in the world and European energy market, presentation of oil and gas companies and enterprises achievements, establishment of new and development of the existing mutually beneficial relations with foreign partners.
Traditionally, the organizers of the Forum are the Ministry of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine, National joint-stock company Naftogaz of Ukraine and the exhibition company “ACCO International”.

Over a period of its existence, International Trade Fair of oil and gas industry “OIL & GAS” holds the position of the main sectorial event of the country and is thought to be one the most prestigious events of oil&gas industry in Eastern Europe.

In 2008, 246 companies from 19 countries participated in the Forum, namely  Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Denmark, Italy, Canada,  China, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Romania, Turkey, USA, Finland, Czech Republic and Sweden.

Among the subjects of “OIL & GAS” exposition are: equipment and technologies for oil and gas exploration, production and transportation, equipment for energy resources metering and control, automatic process control systems, local area networks, integrated operational systems for plant management, software,innovative projects for oil and gas facilities construction, wide variety of fittings, protective equipment, services for oil and gas complex, etc.
The key event of the Forum is the International Conference “Oil & Gas Complex of Ukraine: new solutions for an increase of productivity, reliability and energy efficiency”that is dedicated to the burning problems of the branch. Scientific and technical seminars, round tables and presentations are held within the framework of the conference.

Apart from that, Kiev hosts one more highly important event – International Exhibition of generation, distribution and conservation of energy, alternative energy sources "Power and Energy".

The key aspect of this year’s conference is to ensure the reliability of oil and gas supply to Ukrainian and European consumers. Special attention is paid to the issues related to domestic gas transportation system reliability.

Energy issues are still the most vital for the whole world, playing the key role in economy development, ensuring independence and security of the state, they are defining the strategic objectives of the modern times, which are efficient use of energy resources, energy saving and the reduction of energy consumption, search for alternative energy sources.

Energy efficiency and energy saving are the most important directions of energy policy in most countries. Main lines of the energy strategy of Ukraine up to 2030 is the sector reconstruction and modernization to ensure secure and reliable energy supply that increases the economy competitiveness, reduction of energy consumption,  decreasing energy intensity of production by technological re-equipment of the branch and by introduction of innovative energy-saving technologies.
“POWER & ENERGY” trade fair contributes to the solution of these and other branch issues, as well as to Ukraine active involvement into the world energy market.

The catalysts for the  “CHEMINDEXPO” project is the need for development and expansion of industry market at the international level, drawing of foreign investments, introduction of new technologies as well as reconstruction and modernization of chemical industry facilities.
