European energy trading currently faces significant implications driven by digitalization of our businesses which imply huge challenges for the involved technologies, the supporting organizations as well as the role of the CIO itself. The Forum was established in October 2012 to enable members to openly discuss and progress IT questions which relate to the whole industry, and to help boost innovation while finding ways to increase the efficiency of IT systems in the highly specialized energy trading sector.

The CIO Forum is recognized for its technology leadership in European energy trading and represents the CIOs of organizations that have a substantial proprietary or asset backed energy trading operation in Europe in any energy related commodity. The Forum is open to any recognized Energy Trading businesses in Europe, represented by their CIOs or executives holding equivalent positions.
