Glasgow:  The UK's Energy Tech & Innovation Hub with
Mr Anas Sarwar, MSP

Friday 17 January 2025 | The Citation Glasgow |  08.00 - 11.00

Join us at one of Glasgow's most prestigious venues, an ideal historic backdrop to a conversation centred on the future of tech in energy.

For this insightful strategic briefing, we’ve invited Anas Sarwar to discuss and explore the region's capabilities in energy tech and innovation, unlocking new opportunities for your business and research. Together, we’ll cement Glasgow’s future as the UK’s leading hub for energy technology and innovation.

Workshop 1

De-risking Innovation

What is the best way to help companies evolve and how can small companies navigate the 'valley of death'? Exploring the limitations of private risk capital, how to find funding and the challenges of new technologies. 

Workshop 2

Industrial Policy

Is the only way forward through government support? How can the UK prevent more delays, cost overruns and improve delivery success? Examining novel government funding approaches.  

Workshop 3

Markets for the Long Term

Is there still a need for public markets to deliver energy investments? Companies needs funds to carry out activities, but perhaps the future lies with private markets rather than public.
