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.
