E-FWD x BDO
The North Sea at a crossroads: geopolitics and the multi-energy future
Aberdeen Journals Office
Thursday 2nd July 2026 08:00 - 11:00 1 Marischal Square, Aberdeen
BDO and E-FWD are teaming up once again for an exclusive breakfast briefing in Aberdeen exploring the forces redefining the UK energy landscape.
What are the biggest risks and opportunities facing the North Sea? How are governments and investors responding to geopolitical uncertainty? How resilient are local supply chains as the sector evolves? And how are North Sea shipping operations adapting to serve both traditional platforms and new offshore wind developments?
Hear directly from senior industry leaders operating at the sharp end of the market as they discuss the commercial, political and strategic pressures shaping the next phase of the energy transition.
