ASI, through COREN, seeks to encourage the productive sector to optimize the use of energy resources, develop technical capabilities and expand knowledge about the regional and international energy market.

For industrialists, energy is key for the sustainable development of a nation because it has a positive impact on the competitiveness of countries, especially in industry. At the same time, it enables investments, innovation and new industries that are the engines of job creation and growth of economies.
