The Business Post’s NextGen Energy, Transport & Water Summit brings together senior leaders from government, industry, finance and regulation to address one central question: how do we move from policy ambition to real-world delivery?

Grounded in Ireland’s Climate Action Plan, National Development Plan and the EU Green Deal, this year’s programme focuses on the practical challenges shaping infrastructure delivery today. From scaling renewable energy and expanding grid capacity, to modernising water systems and accelerating transport decarbonisation, the summit explores how these interconnected sectors must evolve together to deliver a resilient, secure and affordable future.

Through a carefully curated agenda of keynote presentations, expert panels and deep-dive discussions, the summit will examine:

• Delivering infrastructure at the pace required to meet 2030 targets
• Strengthening energy security in an increasingly volatile global environment
• Aligning transport, housing and spatial planning to enable sustainable growth
• Modernising water infrastructure to meet climate and regulatory demands
• Attracting investment and unlocking new financing models across sectors
• Ensuring a just transition that supports consumers, communities and industry

This summit provides a vital platform for decision-makers to collaborate, challenge assumptions and identify practical solutions, ensuring Ireland can deliver not just on its climate ambitions, but on the infrastructure required to support them.
