More than 60 executive speakers will be present at the event, with an extremely impressive line-up from across the continent and the industry. The brochure for the two days of learning and networking is available to download now. The key themes of the event will focus on:

• Mobilising Green Investment – In uncertain macroeconomic conditions, the energy transition is scaling exponential green growth. Falling behind is not an option. Demonstrate leadership and secure investment in order to secure net zero business opportunities, forge sustainable avenues for investment, and accelerate profit from market uncertainty.
• Collaborative Leadership & Governance – Explore how governance and collaboration in Europe can drive a new age of low carbon supply. Are we witnessing the birth of a redefined European transition? How should players throughout the net zero value chain adapt to new dependencies and realign their business strategy to adjust to political change? Understand how private sector companies can work hand-in-hand with public sector leaders within and outside of their region.
• Energy Security & Clean Supply – The Russian gas embargo, ramifications of the I.R.A. and continued geopolitical turbulence have accelerated the transition paradigm shift. How can companies deliver real return on investment for a climate positive future? How can we fast-track progress on net zero targets and secure investment in low carbon projects? Recognise how to secure European energy supremacy and establish the first net-zero continent in modern history.
• Diversification & Electrification – At the heart of the European transition lies a fundamental shift from carbon to electrons. Gain cutting edge insights into next-gen wind, solar and storage projects, understand how to build flexibility and balance into the clean-power supply and identify the role of digital technologies in connecting the European continent grid.
• Carbon Management – European stakeholders must responsibly manage and mitigate carbon remaining in our energy system. Explore incentives for accelerating climate-tech and infrastructure upgrades, identify the role of CCUS, hydrogen, and low-carbon fuels in your strategy, and learn how a cross-sectoral approach will deliver carbon reduction across all your emission scopes.
• Reuters Events: Energy Transition Europe 2023 will include world-class presentations, panels, interviews, and workshops, and a variety of interactive networking opportunities including VIP dinners, and an extensive media presence.
