Lontoh will speak at a working session titled "Energy Reforms for Sustained Growth." The drop in global oil prices, combined with investment needs and fast technology innovation, has opened an historic window for reforms. Many countries in the East Asia region have started reforming their energy policies which can have important effects on proper functioning of energy markets, on energy efficiency and on the ability to attract investments. Building on insights from the World Economic Forum's Global Energy Performance Index, this session will explore how to create effective energy reforms, with a particular emphasis on Indonesia.

"Energy reform is one of the strategic imperatives in our world today," said Espen Mehlum, Head of Knowledge Management and Integration, Energy Industries, of the World Economic Forum, "We look forward to the innovative thinking and possible solutions that will progress energy reforms in East Asia."

"The World Economic Forum is the pre-eminent international institution committed to improving the state of the world through public-private cooperation," said Sonita Lontoh, Head of Global Corporate Marketing at Trilliant. "As a US-based energy technology company with global presence, we are honored for the opportunity to participate in this important discussion to help progress energy reforms in Asia, one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the world."

The theme of the 24^th World Economic Forum on East Asia is "Anchoring Trust in East Asia's New Regionalism." The event brings together global leaders from government, business, international organizations, academia and civil society for strategic dialogues to improve regional cooperation and advance critical decisions for accelerating sustainable socio-economic development. At this year's meeting, more than 700 participants from over 40 countries, including heads of state, ministers, CEOs and chairpersons and representatives from international organizations, are expected to attend.
