Session Overview

Global strategy ICC Hall A 10:00 - 10:40

Trading insights: opportunities and challenges for the energy sector

The increasing interconnectivity of global energy systems, as well as shifting geopolitical dynamics, has both unlocked new market opportunities and introduced strategic complexities. Enhanced cross-border trade efficiency can drive competitive pricing benefits for buyers and open access to expanded and new markets for sellers. At the same time, renewable energy integration is creating new trading opportunities.

These market evolutions bring new complexities. Technical integration across systems– though enhancing cross-border energy stability – requires substantial investment and coordination. This complexity is amplified by shifting policy frameworks, emerging tax incentives and tariffs, and evolving consumer preferences across global economies.

Successfully navigating shifting market dynamics demands pragmatic solutions, visionary risk management strategies, and adaptive regulatory frameworks that enable the energy ecosystem to deliver the energy needed for humanity to thrive.
