Ocean Connect: Dive in to the programme
Wind, solar, hydro, nuclear…the list of possible energy sources goes on. Join us in Bergen 26 October to discuss the future energy mix, challenges to get there and the business opportunities along the way.
At Ocean Connect we will discuss the future energy mix and what it will take to get there.
Are we ready for new business opportunities, or will the latest boost in the oil and gas industry slow us down and leave Norway behind within the emerging markets?
