Scaling innovations across the energy value chain

Innovative technologies and models are emerging rapidly but scaling them system-wide remains the critical barrier to impact. From breakthrough technologies and digital platforms to low-carbon fuels and grid modernisation, solutions exist across the energy value chain. But what does it take to move from pilot projects to large-scale deployment? Discussions will evolve around how to unpack the operational, financial, and policy levers needed to scale innovation across complex energy systems, including what’s working, where bottlenecks persist and how cross-sector collaboration is accelerating adoption. As industries race to future-proof their operations, this session offers concrete insight into how ambition is being turned into action at scale.

Attendee insights:

Understand how innovative technologies are rapidly evolving, contributing to the fast-track development of the energy sector, and how industries can leverage them to future-proof their operations.

Transition and innovation: how companies are shaping the future of energy

The global energy transition is set to dramatically reshape the energy landscape. Currently, about 80% of global energy is derived from fossil fuels, but the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario aims for renewable energy to constitute two-thirds of global supply by 2050. Achieving this target is no small feat and will necessitate a substantial shift in how energy companies look at their business, profoundly affecting their entire value chain—from strategy to production to the end consumer. In response to this, numerous energy companies have embarked on a transformative journey. Companies are approaching the transition in different ways, with many using innovative approaches, from shifting business models, to changing their product portfolio, to providing differentiated consumer experiences. The pressing question remains: How can energy companies adapt to this rapidly evolving energy landscape, and what strategic insights can they learn from the trailblazers who have successfully navigated this transition?

Attendee insights:

Energy leaders – from traditional energy players and renewable providers to new entrants – will provide their perspectives on how their organisations are navigating the energy transition and how are they innovating to achieve their goals.
