About the ​Business Post’s NextGen Energy, Transport & Water Summit

Ireland stands at a critical juncture in the delivery of its national infrastructure. The transition to a low-carbon economy is no longer a distant ambition, it is an urgent, system-wide transformation that must be delivered at pace, across energytransport and water. At the same time, growing geopolitical uncertaintypopulation demand, and climate pressures are placing unprecedented strain on the systems that underpin Ireland’s economy and society.

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 transporthousing 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
As Ireland accelerates towards a more integrated and electrified infrastructure system, the choices made now will shape the country’s competitiveness, resilience and quality of life for decades to come.

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.
