Capital catalysts: financing the future energy economy

Achieving the dual goals of energy security and decarbonisation requires unprecedented levels of capital - and smarter deployment of it. As governments scale industrial policies, and markets reward resilience and sustainability, the energy sector must mobilise investment at speed and scale. From clean tech and carbon capture to natural gas and LNG, critical minerals and hydrogen infrastructure, where will the money flow next? How can energy leaders balance diverging short- and long-term priorities - each with distinct investment requirements and return profiles - while driving a coherent transformation agenda? As AI and emerging technologies disrupt traditional value chains, they are not only reshaping business models but also driving significant increases in energy demand and competing for resources. This session brings together financial institutions, sovereign funds, and energy leaders to explore how capital is being unlocked, de-risked, and reallocated to power the next phase of global growth.
