"The ever-increasing needs of a growing world population and of the developing world's national economies have a strong impact on the sustainable development model. On the other hand however, the need to keep our planet's environment balanced is paramount. This challenge involves directly both the energy and natural resources industries: they must satisfy increasing requirements at low costs and with a limited impact on the environment at the same time. These complex trade-offs can be solved only through real innovation of technologies and of business models. Those who work in this sector should hence ask themselves which kind of role they want to play in the next 10-15 years, in which markets, with which allies and with which technologies."
