The Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF) provides a dialogue platform for high-level policy makers, financial institutions, industry and research organizations to deepen and enhance the bilateral cooperation for the energy transition in Germany and India.
Both leaders expressed satisfaction about the cooperation in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency, including the important and successful work under the Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF).
Since its establishment in 2006, the Indo-German Energy Forum has successfully intensified Indo-German Cooperation in the areas of energy security, energy efficiency and renewable energies, investment in energy projects as well as collaborative research and development. Below are the recent Highlights of IGEF:
The Make in India Mittelstand (MIIM) programme is an investment facilitation initiative being implemented by the Embassy of India in Berlin with the support of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and the Economic Diplomacy Division of the Ministry of External Affairs. The programme aims to attract investments from German Mittelstand (SME) companies and to facilitate their entry into India through a one-stop platform that provides market-entry related services via an extensive network of MIIM partners.
Launched in September 2015 following the announcement of the Make in India programme at Hannover Messe, MIIM has completed nine years of successful operation. Over this period, it has established itself as an integrated market entry facilitation platform for German Mittelstand companies.
Join the MIIM program and be a part of India’s remarkable growth story!

Intersolar Europe
From Monday, June 22 to Tuesday, June 23, 2026, The smarter E Europe brings together four conferences: Intersolar Europe Conference, ees Europe Conference, Power2Drive Europe Conference and EM-Power Europe Conference, to shed light on the latest industry developments.
The conferences touch on all important facets of the new energy world and provide many opportunities to discuss the different aspects with leading experts of the energy industry. Topics include for example the decentralization, digitalization and sector coupling of energy supply, technological trends in photovoltaics and energy storage, and the newest charging technologies for electric vehicles.
Hydrogen is a key player in the fight to curb climate change, due to its multiple end-uses and scope within the energy system, as recognised already by the EU Hydrogen Strategy and by the EU Green Deal.
With the latest political developments, namely the decreasing affordability of energy, availability of raw materials and the need to boost the sustainable competitiveness of the European industry, it has acquired an even more central role, presenting itself simultaneously as an ally of decarbonisation, growth, and autonomy for Europe.
Despite the challenges ahead, this is a massive opportunity to develop a strong European hydrogen supply chain, break free of fossil fuels, and deliver the ambitious climate goals required to keep the planet’s temperature increase under 1.5C.
Join the week of all-things hydrogen and play your part in this journey!
Registrations to the European Hydrogen Week are free of charge and will open in June 2026.

The Subgroup V on "Green Hydrogen" focuses to strengthen mutual cooperation in production, utilisation, storage, and distribution of Green Hydrogen.
Thermal plants ensure continuous power, but coal should be used only when renewables aren't available. As India increases renewable energy, flexible thermal plants support the grid and are vital to our energy transition.
