Summary

Join us for an action-packed and transformative event – Powering Futures Live: Young People at the Heart of the Transition. This is your chance to actively engage with the next generation of leaders and the forward-thinking businesses driving positive change.

Kickstart your day with dynamic voices and visionary leaders who are shaping our economic future especially in relation to the energy transition. Hear first-hand from young pioneers leading the charge in their fields and from businesses committed to making a real impact. We will especially focus on the amazing opportunities emerging in the north of Scotland, how do they resonate with the next generation and how can we develop and retain the talent across the region.

This event is being structured in a way to ensure we aren’t creating an echo chamber of opinions. We want to bring people to the fore who are already embracing good practices and give all attendees an opportunity to share the real-time differences they are making. We aim to engage with a wide business audience as well as teachers and young people to ensure that a depth of conversation will lead to ongoing change.
