The Energy Opportunity
### Description
Want to significantly reduce your business energy costs? Looking to compete in a global emerging market? Keen to build the North of England as a powerhouse that drives energy transition?
Then this new CBI conference, The ‘Energy Opportunity’ is not to be missed.
### Why the ‘Energy Opportunity’?
Advances in energy technologies mean that energy transformation is now more possible than ever and it’s opening up new opportunities for businesses to prosper in a clean economy.
A new global market, estimated to be worth £170 billion by 2030, is emerging as energy transition drives businesses to think differently about how they consume energy.
Firms in the North are well place to capitalise on this new market and all firms need to be looking to develop new energy strategies that not only increase profitability, win new customers and derive genuine competitive advantage while reducing pollution.
This new CBI Conference will help you get informed, engaged and ready to take advantage of the Energy Opportunity.
