What is OMEC ?
Launched in 1988 and incorporated in 1991, OMEC (formerly OME) is the Voice of the energy industry in the Mediterranean area; a Platform for energy dialogue, cooperation and best practices exchanges and a Think Tank of reference in the Euro-Mediterranean Region. The Association gathers leading Mediterranean energy companies, affiliates and associated members from sixteen countries.
OMEC’s four committees are the following:
– Green Energies and Technologies;
– Natural Resources and Energy Security;
– Infrastructure Investments & Financing;
– Strategies, Governance and Cooperation.
OMEC has, since its inception, pioneered the organization of cross cutting high-level conferences and workshops on various issues related to the energy sector in Mediterranean countries and continues to do so on a regular basis. These events offer opportunities to develop a shared vision among regional actors, policy makers and national authorities.
Three Task Forces are also active:
– Hydrogen;
– Circular Economy;
– MEP.
