The Budapest Energy and Security Talks has been established as the leading international strategy conference of Hungary in 2024, providing a platform for high-level foreign and security policy experts and political and business leaders to engage and re-engage in an in-depth, strategic dialogue on the most important strategic, security and energy policy challenges ahead of the Euro-Atlantic community.

The 2025 edition of the conference will continue the tradition of assembling leading experts, intellectuals, and high-level decision-makers from Europe, the United States, and the CEE region. The event will build on the success of the inaugural 2024 conference, which attracted over 45 international speakers and 300 participants.

About the 2024 Budapest Energy and Securty Talks:

On September 12-13, 2024, in cooperation with NATO PDD, the Equilibrium Institute launched the annual Budapest Energy and Security Talks conference.

Distinguished international experts, as well as political and economic decision-makers from 11 countries — including the United States and across Europe — shared their insights before an audience of over 250 participants, addressing the key topics of the conference:

• The outcomes of the NATO Summit in Washington
• The geopolitical challenges of the Western Balkans
• The escalating cyber security threats
• The current and future state of energy security and energy markets.

The two-day international event marks a significant milestone for the Equilibrium Institute, as our annual conference has launched a new expert dialogue in Hungary on the most pressing security policy issues affecting our country and transatlantic relations.
