The Geneva Energy Forum (GEF) is a non-profit, business association. The GEF recognises the fundamental role of energy in global economies and to social wellbeing. It also recognises that fact-based science and economics are essential to provide society with energy that is affordable, reliable and sustainable. The Forum is committed to improve access by recognised professionals to sources of expertise, and to facilitate business networking and collaboration between key stakeholders in the energy sector.
The Geneva Energy Forum (GEF) is a non-profit, business association. Its main goal is to gather executives, senior managers and professionals active in the petroleum and energy industry in and around Geneva, Switzerland and across Europe and abroad.
The Geneva Energy Forum began informally in 2000, when three Geneva based oil executives, Marc Lorenceau of Addax Petroleum, Ian Lundin of Lundin Oil AB and Charles de Mestral of Athanor BV, got together for lunch to exchange views, thoughts and news about the sector, as it customarily done in oil centers like Houston or London.
The first meeting, held in May 2000, was dedicated to presenting the activities of Athanor, the smaller of the three companies. The intent was that the three companies should have a general understanding and knowledge of the activities of the two others. This was seen as a must since these were the only three known oil upstream companies in Geneva. The next meeting took place in September 2000 with a presentation of Addax Petroleum’s activities; a presentation by Lundin Oil followed later in the year.
