Scotland’s energy transition is creating new opportunities. Funding, innovation, supply chain and market support to help your business grow

Unlocking Opportunities for Growth in Scotland’sEnergy Transition

The energy transition is creating significant new opportunities for businesses across Scotland — from innovation and technology development to new supply-chain opportunities, funding, investment and international markets.

But knowing where the opportunities are, what support is available, whether your business is eligible, and who to speak to next can be challenging.

Join Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG), ETZ, Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Development International, Net Zero Technology Centre and ORE Catapult for a practical, collaborative briefing designed to help businesses navigate the energy-transition support landscape.

What to expect

Hear directly from each organisation about:

  • Emerging opportunities across Scotland’s energy-transition economy
  • Innovation and technology support, including routes towards demonstration and commercialisation
  • Funding, programmes and business-growth support
  • Supply-chain and market opportunities, including offshore renewables
  • Internationalisation and export support
  • Eligibility criteria and how to access relevant programmes
  • Who to contact within each organisation to take the next step

The event will bring all these organisations together around a shared objective: helping businesses understand the ecosystem of support available to them and turn opportunities into action.

Why attend?

Leave with clarity on three things:

1. What opportunities are available to your business?
Understand the markets, programmes and initiatives currently supporting Scotland’s energy transition.

2. What support could you access?
Discover the funding, innovation, technology, supply-chain, business-growth and international support available — and understand the relevant criteria.

3. Who should you speak to next?
Connect directly with the organisations and principal contacts who can help you take your next step.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
