Followed by Roundtables:
Funding the Energy Transition: Where capital is actually being allocated across the transition — which asset classes are clearing investment committees, which are stalling, and what is changing the calculus.
Sources of Energy Transition Capital: The shifting capital base — institutional, sovereign, family office and development finance — and how each is repricing risk and rewriting its mandate.
Portfolio Allocation & Diversification: Building and rebalancing an energy portfolio through the transition: exposure across conventional and low-carbon assets, duration, and managing concentration risk.

AI & Energy Infrastructure: Data centre demand, grid investment and the new generation build-out — the largest single shift in load growth in a generation, and who is financing it.
