Inside this issue

With the first EIC Connect event of the year now behind us, there are just a few weeks until we arrive in Vietnam and the US to bring you Mark Risley more supply chain opportunities across the energy spectrum.

EIC Connect Virtual Vietnam will take place on 16-17 March and we’re excited to bring the event back for our first conference in 2021 in the Asia Pacific region. Shortly afterwards, EIC Connect Energy USA opens its virtual doors on 30-31 March.

Adhwa Afnan, EIC Research Analyst for the Americas Region, has explored US President Joe Biden’s four-year US$2tn clean energy plan and the new administration’s ambition to eliminate carbon emissions from the electricity sector by 2035.

Clean energy opportunities will be the topic under discussion at EIC Connect Virtual Energy USA, with confirmed speakers including Baker Hughes, Bechtel, BP, McDermott and ExxonMobil.

This week we are also excited to launch The North Sea Decarbonisation Conference. This event is a new initiative by the EIC that will look exclusively at decarbonised energy opportunities in the North Sea and surrounding countries.

Topics will include offshore wind, ocean energy, electricity interconnectors, CCUS, hydrogen and much more. Visit the EIC website to find out more and book your place:
