We are pleased to invite you the International Energy Arbitration Symposium inIstanbul on 30 May 2013 at the InterContinental Istanbul Hotel. We are pleased to
say that the Symposium is supported by the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural
Resources.
Overview
Despite the financial crisis in Europe and the rest of the World Turkey continue to
grow and became one of the first destinations for foreign investors. Foreign investorsare particularly looking to invest in the energy sector in Turkey. The Ministry of Energy
and Natural Resources has outlined a series of projects to meet future demands of
Turkeys energy needs. Turkey is looking to the private sector for solutions to itsenergy needs. Key areas of opportunity include Coal, Gas, Renewable Energy and
Distribution Networks.
Investors want to make sure that their investments are secure like in another Euro-pean country. In the last ten years, Turkish Government made important progress to
meet international standards. We, therefore, believe that the timing of the Sympo-sium is crucial.Align with the recent developments; the Symposium is aiming to discuss the recent
progress in arbitration law in Turkey and protection of foreign investment in the
energy sector.
