We are now beyond the tipping point of a global energy transition. For the energy sector unprecedented speed of change poses a wide range of challenges for producers, utilities, policy makers and the involved financial sector.

The energy sector is facing continuously evolving frontiers. Changing market dynamics, constantly evolving innovation and technology options, new business models, shifting supply and demand centers, climate policy and resilience preparedness all represent new frontiers to be embraced. It is clear from the research produced by the World Energy Council and the intense highest level dialogue held around the world that energy is undergoing a grand transition at  unprecedented speed.

There is no such thing as business as usual. Companies that stand still fall back, countries that do not adapt to new realities put their prosperity at risk and investors that take the wrong decisions will see their disappear. This is about to innovate or die.
