Capital catalysts: financing the future energy economy

Achieving the dual goals of energy security and decarbonisation requires unprecedented levels of capital - and smarter deployment of it. As governments scale industrial policies, and markets reward resilience and sustainability, the energy sector must mobilise investment at speed and scale. From clean tech and carbon capture to natural gas and LNG, critical minerals and hydrogen infrastructure, where will the money flow next?

How can energy leaders balance diverging short- and long-term priorities - each with distinct investment requirements and return profiles - while driving a coherent transformation agenda?

As AI and emerging technologies disrupt traditional value chains, they are not only reshaping business models but also driving significant increases in energy demand and competing for resources.

Redefining the energy major: Competing and thriving in a new energy order

As the global energy system undergoes profound change, international oil companies are rethinking what it means to be an energy major. In this exclusive Energy Talk, Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, reflects on how integrated energy companies are adapting to a more complex, multipolar world, one shaped by shifting geopolitics, accelerating decarbonisation, new technologies and the rise of new competitors across the energy value chain. Drawing on TotalEnergies’ transformation journey, he will explore how portfolio diversification, trading agility, and disciplined investment can sustain competitiveness while advancing lower-carbon growth. Offering a CEO’s perspective from the front line, this session examines how global players are redefining strategy, scale, and purpose in pursuit of energy that is secure, affordable, and sustainable.

Attendee insights:

During this Executive Boardroom Roundtable, leading economists will discuss how energy markets are influencing, and being influenced by , wider economic realities. Discussions will examine the fiscal, monetary , and trade policy implications of energy security strategies.

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.
