Energy Shift Capital at Sustainable Brands Turkey Conference
Istanbul, Türkiye | October 2025
We explored how capital flows are shaping the energy transition both in Türkiye and globally — from boardroom strategy to real-world infrastructure at the “Investment Trends in the Energy Sector – Türkiye & Global Perspective” panel hosting:
Canan Özsoy– Independent Board Member & Board Advisor
Özge Özen Aksoy – CFO, Akenerji
Nihal Kanay – CFO, Sanko Enerji
Ilkay Demirdag – Co-CEO Energy Shift Capital (Moderator)
“Corporate boards are increasingly recognizing sustainability and energy transition as fundamental responsibilities, integral to risk management, competitiveness, and stakeholder trust.” Canan
“Shift towards renewable energy is no longer an option, but a necessity for a sustainable future. Broader adoption of green financing instruments worldwide and in Turkey will offer economic and reputational benefits to issuers and low-risk, long term investment option for investors sensitive to ESG criteria.” Ozge
“Enhancing the resilience of Türkiye’s energy infrastructure to climate change is both a strategic and necessary step for a sustainable future. To scale the energy transition, it is important to foster clear and stable policies, improve access to diverse financing options, and strengthen local technological and human capacity.” Nihal
