As clean electrification reshapes global power, a new class of nations, Electrostates, is emerging. Can the UK position itself as a leader in this low-carbon, energy-independent future, or risk falling behind? This panel brings together UK government, energy providers, clean-tech innovators, corporate leaders and global experts to explore the strategy, infrastructure and policy required for a fully electrified economy.

Discussions will highlight the government’s role in setting ambitious targets and enabling investment, alongside energy providers deploying renewables and smart grids. Clean-tech entrepreneurs will also share innovative solutions that represent a massive global export opportunity for the UK’s skills and technologies. International perspectives will then provide benchmarks and lessons from leading electrostate nations.
