Kostiantyn Gridin

Kostiantyn founded Future Energy Week to foster an active global dialog between public and private energy leaders and all other businesses around the world to address the biggest challenges of the energy transition FEW is the global gateway to business opportunities arising from the transition to a sustainable energy economy.

The first event within the framework of Future Energy Week was a global online event, Davos Energy Week, which took place on January 19–21, 2021 and brought together more than 5500 participants, 70+ speakers, 7 Energy Ministers from Europe and the Americas, top management of the world’s leading corporations and consultancies, industry associations, think tanks and NGOs.

Since then, Kostiantyn and his team have been working on a series of online and hybrid events, including sectoral and regional conferences, special renewable energy events, and many other energy-related initiatives. The Future Energy Week’s team is building up a vast amount of free-to-access content including business practical insights, news articles, and reports on a broad range of energy transition topics.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, Kostiantyn Gridin has delved deep into the mechanics of how to make a successful online event. He pioneered with an on-line discussion on the Legalization of Medical Cannabis in Europe in April 2020. Then he produced and developed one week of programming for Global Inclusion Online Forum in early September 2020.
