The NRG Battle – World Edition is the competition for innovation and sustainability, organized during the World Gas Conference in Kuala Lumpur.

100 global top talents work for four days in multidisciplinary teams of five, on challenging cases provided by companies from the energy sector. At the end of the four days, each team presents their idea in a 3-minute pitch to an expert jury, consisting of CEO’s and Directors. The jury nominates three teams that will pitch their idea once more to 5000 delegates at the World Gas Conference, who will then choose the winner of the NRG Battle – World edition.

Participation is free of charge for students, including flight tickets, accommodation and food & drinks. Students can check www.nrgbattle.com to sign up and read all about the NRG Battle – World Edition. This is the chance of a lifetime for Bachelor, Master, MBA or PhD students interested in a career in the energy sector.
