Technical, political and economic changes are reshaping the energy industry faster and more deeply than ever before. From fossil fuels to lithium ion batteries, every business has to deal with the daily reality or possibility of fundamental disruption. Energy sector investors have never faced such a complex environment. At the same time, the companies in which they invest are learning to work with new kinds of investors and investment. Finally, the very notion of the “energy sector” itself is changing radically, as oil majors buy up strings of “new energy” businesses, and the entire industry converges with, and will increasingly be driven by, developments in other sectors, such as machine learning, fintech, real estate and transport.

During our annual Global Energy Summit, we will discuss transformative developments across the energy sector globally.
