Visionary Exchange – Agenda2025 Business Exchange Programme

Held under the Agenda2025 programme, Visionary Exchange focuses on the theme “The Future of Earth and Biodiversity”. Business leaders, academics, scientists, and government officials come together to share visions of a sustainable future that thrives in harmony with nature.

In the panel “The Future of Earth (Energy)”, Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary, joins international experts to discuss global energy transitions, the role of circular economy, and the importance of international cooperation for a climate-resilient future. The discussion explores how to balance energy security, affordability, and environmental sustainability by learning from different national contexts and strategies. Speakers share how countries pursue diverse energy mixes – from renewables and nuclear to circular carbon systems and community-based distributed grids – and how these choices affect industrial competitiveness and everyday life. The session also highlights the role of circular economy principles in enhancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact, and emphasizes the importance of global collaboration.
