ABOUT
The Business Dealmakers’ Breakfasts are a curated series of essential business briefings featuring informed panels delivering on-the-record assessments and commentary on deal-making opportunities across Scotland.
These are friendly networking gatherings featuring special guest speakers from innovation and investment, technology and infrastructure, and the transition to net zero.
ENERGY SERIES
The Business of Energy Series 2026/27 is a new programme of policy-focused events examining how Scotland’s energy transition is being shaped – and constrained – by the interaction between government, regulators, investors, and industry. Across four half-day events, the series will explore some of the most consequential issues facing the energy system: grid capacity and infrastructure, workforce and skills, the future role of nuclear, and the ongoing transition of oil and gas.
