Executive Roundtable: Energy Management in Factories of the Future

We are pleased to invite you to an executive‑level roundtable discussion on Energy Management in Factories of the Future, to be held on 29 May 2026, in Bangkok.

As industrial volatility intensifies, manufacturers are increasingly required to balance energy security, sustainability, and operational resilience while maintaining productivity and competitiveness. Rising energy costs, supply chain disruptions, tightening carbon policies, climate‑related risks, and growing IT‑OT threats are rapidly reshaping the operating environment for factories across the region.

This closed‑door, by‑invitation‑only roundtable is designed for C‑suite leaders to exchange perspectives on how effective energy management strategies and execution can help industrial operations navigate uncertainty, mitigate risk, and strengthen long‑term resilience.

Through peer dialogue and expert insights, the session will explore:

How leading manufacturers are responding to energy price volatility and policy pressures
The role of energy management as a strategic, board‑level capability
Practical considerations for building resilient, future‑ready factory operations
