France prepared to participate in the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2026, with Ambassador Stephen Marchisio attending a Pre-SIEW reception organised by Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) and SMBC ahead of the annual energy event. SIEW 2026 was scheduled to take place from 26 to 30 October in Singapore, with France due to be represented by a high-level delegation of institutional and industry leaders.

The Pre-SIEW reception provided an opportunity for participants to engage ahead of the main programme and discuss developments in the energy sector. Ambassador Marchisio attended the reception as France prepared for its participation in SIEW 2026.

According to the French Embassy in Singapore, the French delegation would include representatives from institutions and industry as part of the country’s participation in the week-long programme. SIEW is an international energy event held in Singapore that provides a setting for discussions involving the energy sector and related stakeholders.

The French participation was expected to highlight expertise from the country’s energy sector while providing opportunities for exchanges with Singaporean counterparts. The delegation was also expected to explore potential areas of cooperation linked to the energy transition.

The French Embassy said SIEW 2026 would provide an opportunity for France to “showcase French expertise, deepen cooperation with Singapore, and explore new avenues for collaboration on the energy transition”.

The participation reflected the interest of French institutional and business representatives in Singapore’s energy sector and the wider regional energy landscape. France’s delegation was expected to engage with stakeholders during SIEW through meetings, discussions and other programme activities.

The Pre-SIEW reception was organised by EMA and SMBC as part of preparations leading up to the event. EMA is Singapore’s energy regulator and is involved in the development of the country’s energy market and energy policy.

SIEW 2026 was set to run from 26 to 30 October, bringing together participants involved in discussions on the future of energy in Singapore and the region. French representatives were scheduled to take part alongside other international participants during the programme.

The French Embassy in Singapore highlighted the upcoming participation as an opportunity to connect institutional and industry representatives from France with Singaporean and regional stakeholders. The delegation’s activities were expected to focus on energy transition and related areas of cooperation.
