Powering Scotland’s Future: Building on our Industrial and Energy Heritage

11th October 2025

12:30 – 13:30

Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre

A successful energy and industrial transition can deliver the economic growth needed, and Scotland is at the heart of that. Reaching net zero by 2050 will require changes to every industry, region, and part of society but we must choose to do this by building on our world-leading energy industrial heritage and skilled workforce. This panel will explore the policies, partnerships, and investment needed to ensure we deliver decarbonisation not deindustrialisation, creating growth opportunities across the country and a just transition for workers and communities.
