From Ambition to Deployment

Innovation Zero World brings together the people, ideas and practical solutions needed to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Across two days, the programme will explore the challenges that determine whether transition plans become real-world projects - from energy and infrastructure to resilience, investment, technology and commercial deployment. 

Bringing together businesses and operators, solution providers, investors, innovators and policymakers, the programme is designed to connect different perspectives around a common question: 

What will it take to turn ambition into action at scale?
 

A Programme in Development

The Innovation Zero World 2027 programme is currently in development.

We're working with businesses, operators, investors, innovators, policymakers and industry experts to build a programme around the challenges and opportunities shaping deployment. 

The themes below provide an early view of the conversations we're developing for April. Sessions, speakers and timings will continue to evolve as the programme takes shape.
 

Plenary Stage

The big questions shaping the transition

The Plenary Stage brings the Innovation Zero World community together to examine the economic, industrial, political and commercial forces shaping the pace and scale of transition. 

Expect perspectives from senior business leaders, policymakers, investors and industry figures on the major decisions, opportunities and barriers influencing deployment across the economy. 

Key themes will be announced as the programme develops.

Main Stage

Energy Systems

Energy Systems

Building a low-carbon, resilient and affordable energy system

How do we build a more secure, flexible and resilient energy system while meeting rapidly growing demand for electricity? 

The Energy Systems programme will explore how generation, networks, technology, policy and energy users can work together to build a system that is secure, resilient and affordable, while unlocking new opportunities for investment, industrial growth and commercial value.

Resilient Business

Building resilience into business, infrastructure and investment

How can organisations prepare for growing physical, operational and supply-chain risks while identifying the commercial opportunities created by a more resilient economy? 

The Resilient Business programme explores how businesses, infrastructure owners, investors and government can work together to anticipate climate risks, minimise disruption and turn investment in resilience into long-term commercial and economic value.

Resilient Business

Deploying the Future

Future Deployment

Turning innovation into commercial deployment

What does it take to turn a proven technology, promising project or emerging market into something that can be bought, financed and deployed at scale? 

Deploying the Future will bring together customers, innovators, solution providers, investors and policymakers to examine the barriers preventing proven innovations from being deployed at scale.

One Programme. Different Perspectives

The challenges of deployment don't sit neatly within individual sectors or disciplines.

Energy infrastructure affects industrial investment. Technology needs customers and capital. Business resilience depends on infrastructure and policy. Innovation only creates impact when it can be procured, financed and deployed. 

Innovation Zero World is designed to bring these conversations together - connecting the organisations creating demand, providing solutions, investing capital, developing innovation and shaping the conditions for deployment.
