The Future of the North Sea: Unlocking Scotland’s Potential

16th October 2026

17:00 – 18:00

Conference Suite 3, The Event Complex Aberdeen

Join Holyrood and OEUK to discuss how policymakers can support an energy transition that protects existing and creates new skilled jobs, delivers sustainable economic growth, whilst growing Scotland’s industrial capacity and energy security. The North Sea is one of Scotland’s greatest assets, holding the potential to power not only our homes and industries, but a new era of industrial growth and economic resilience. Whether this is realised depends on the decisions we make now. How can Scotland maximise the value of its natural resources, support communities and supply chains, attract investment and ensure the benefits are felt across the country?

A communi observantia non est recedendum. Phasellus laoreet lorem vel dolor tempus vehicula. Unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam. Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? Morbi odio eros, volutpat ut pharetra vitae, lobortis sed nibh. Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum.
