Compete.org — Council on Competitiveness

Energy Security, Innovation & Sustainability Initiative

The Council launched the Energy Security, Innovation and Sustainability (ESIS) Initiative in August 2007 in response to the growing energy supply challenges. In 2007 and 2008, the Council on Competitiveness will examine the competitiveness implications of today’s energy challenges and opportunities and highlight the critical role of the private sector in order to achieve a secure and sustainable energy future.

The goal of the ESIS Initiative is to drive private sector demand for sustainable energy solutions and support the creation of new industries, markets and jobs. The Council on Competitiveness will conduct a series of high-level, expert dialogues to examine the competitiveness implications of today's energy challenges and opportunities. The dialogues will highlight the critical role private sector demand will play in moving the nation forward to a more secure and sustainable energy future.
