Team Norway's Energetic Future - Britain & Norway 11 & 12 November 2024

The Energy Transition is happening, but greater effort is required to accelerate progress. The UK and Norway have been close partners for many decades, particularly in driving the energy sector forward, and Energetic Future 2024 seeks to enhance that partnership. 

This two-day event offers organisations and individuals an opportunity to hear about the progress already made as well as ongoing challenges, also providing plenty of time for interacting and sharing new innovations, capabilities, and solutions.   

Join us at St James’ Park in Newcastle for two days of business development and networking. You’ll meet representatives from regional and local government, policymakers and politicians, as well as energy companies and suppliers from both Norway and the UK, investor companies, British and Norwegian clusters, industry bodies/organisations, academia, accelerators, and incubators. 

In addition to a wealth of B2B networking opportunities, this event also offers insightful site visits and a dynamic roundtable discussion, as well as our main conference, which will present innovative ideas while showcasing successful collaboration projects.

SESSION 1: Skills & Talent Pipeline for the Green Transition.

Skills and Talent Pipeline for the Energy Transition, leveraging UK/Norway collaboration for the green transition. This session will explore some of the areas where this can be enhanced and examples of where it is happening now.   

Objectives:

• Enable cross-industry/UK/Norway engagement on skills and talent pipeline for the green transition. 
• Create an influential message to inspire and guide the way forward through collaboration.

SESSION 2: Innovation - AI, Digital & Tech.

This session will focus on understanding how areas such as technology, innovation and digital transformation can be driven forward to  support the acceleration of the energy transition.                                                                                                                                                                         Objectives:

• Hear how digitalisation projects have already supported organisations day-to-day business.
• Explore how technology and innovation can positively contribute to organisations succeeding in the energy transition.
• Understand how a focus on digital transformation and cyber security are critical in support energy transition acceleration.

SESSION 3: ONSHORE: Grid, Hydrogen, Batteries & Storage.

Understanding the scale of onshore infrastructure change required and the context for onshore industrial decarbonisation are key to the success of the energy transition in both Norway and the UK.  This session aims to focus on these areas whilst also seeking to explore synergies between the two markets, interfaces and to encourage greater cooperation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Objectives:

• Understand how energy grid upgrades can be unlocked to accelerate the energy transition and the associated opportunities and challenges
• Hear examples of alternative fuel supply innovations
• Explore Norway/UK collaboration opportunities in support of industrial decarbonisation and alternative energy source growth

SESSION 4: OFFSHORE: Ports & Maritime, CCUS & Offshore Wind

Offshore energy transition activities in the North Sea are forecast to grow significantly in the decades ahead.  This session will explore the inter-relationships between legacy and new energy project activities along with emissions reduction/removal and consider the impact on the ports and maritime sectors.   

Objectives:                                                                                                  

• Explore greater UK/Norway cross-sector collaboration to facilitate energy transition activities
• Discuss efforts to reduce/eliminate emissions in all sectors
• Consider the impact on and the development requirements of the ports and maritime sectors
