W-ZERO 1 Energy Transition Zone, Aberdeen

The energy transition is creating significant new opportunities for businesses across Scotland — from innovation and technology development to new supply-chain opportunities, funding, investment and international markets.

But knowing where the opportunities are, what support is available, whether your business is eligible, and who to speak to next can be challenging.

Join Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG), ETZ, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Development International, Net Zero Technology Centre and ORE Catapult for a practical, collaborative briefing designed to help businesses navigate the energy-transition support landscape.

What to expect

Hear directly from each organisation about:

• Emerging opportunities across Scotland’s energy-transition economy
• Innovation and technology support, including routes towards demonstration and commercialisation
• Funding, programmes and business-growth support
• Supply-chain and market opportunities, including offshore renewables
• Internationalisation and export support
• Eligibility criteria and how to access relevant programmes
• Who to contact within each organisation to take the next step

The event will bring all six organisations together around a shared objective: helping businesses understand the ecosystem of support available to them and turn opportunities into action.

Speakers include:

• Hugh Riddell– Regional Partnership Manager, ORE Catapult
• Rebecca Allison – Chief Operations Officer, Net Zero Technology Centre
• Nindy Bhari – Senior Trade Specialist, Offshore Wind, Scottish Development International
• Nicola McGeown – Supply Chain Programme Manager, ETZ
