SIO moderates the Benelux Private Markets Meeting

At the Benelux Private Markets Meeting 2026 in Brussels, SIO’s Managing Partner Kostis Tselenis moderated the panel Energy Transition & ESG: Navigating the Shift to Geopolitically Driven Investing, bringing together leaders from Belgium’s sovereign wealth fund, public investment bank, insurance sector and specialist impact investing.

The discussion explored how energy security, geopolitical fragmentation and industrial resilience are reshaping private market investment strategies, and what institutional investors now require before allocating capital to transition economy opportunities. Particular attention was given to blended finance, scalable infrastructure, battery storage and the role of public-private partnerships in accelerating Europe’s energy transition.
