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;
– Strategy and International 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.

Two Task Forces are also active:
– Hydrogen;
– Circular Economy.
