Energy
Energy is the new currency of nations. As the country moves towards
industrialization, the demand for energy has increased rapidly. This has put a highdemand for the generation and management of energy. As more industries grow and we
develop further, this need to create more energy and supply it will increase at an
exponential level. As the recent developments in Nepal have shown the management of
the generated energy is as important or even more so than the generation of energy.
Also, the need for sustainable and reusable clean energy and its importance in today’s
age of climate change has skyrocketed.
A lot can be done with the right amount of management and creative thinking.
Vector hopes to bring the original thinkers together to conjure up a plan to make the
generation and management of energy more efficient, robust and eco-friendly.
Participants are highly encouraged to keep the Nepali context in mind and develop
innovative solutions to the problems Nepal faces in terms of production, distribution,
and storage of energy.
