“Energy Without Borders”: the 2026 Festival of Change in Gorizia and Trieste

On 5 and 6 October, the cities of Trieste and Gorizia will host the fifth edition of the Festival of Change. For the second consecutive year, Med-Or Italian Foundation will contribute to the organisation of the initiative.

On 5 and 6 October 2026, the fifth edition of the Festival of Change will take place between Trieste and Gorizia. The initiative is promoted by the Venezia Giulia Chamber of Commerce together with the International Strategic Network (ISN) and Med-Or Italian Foundation, in collaboration with the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.

Med-Or will therefore be involved in the initiative for the second consecutive year. This year’s edition is dedicated to the theme “Energy Without Borders.”

The discussions will focus on the relationship between geopolitics, energy and global markets, with particular attention to security of supply, the energy transition, strategic infrastructure, and the impact of artificial intelligence on demand for energy and critical raw materials.

The Festival will bring together representatives from institutions, businesses, academia and the research community for two days of discussion on the main transformations shaping the international energy system.
