Global clean technology is entering a critical phase as electricity demand rises, clean energy deployment accelerates and infrastructure faces growing pressure to become more flexible and resilient. IEA and IRENA data show renewable capacity continuing to expand towards 2030, while grid modernisation, energy storage and resilience emerge as defining priorities. Geopolitical shifts are further reinforcing the need for secure, diversified energy systems, resilient supply chains and stronger infrastructure planning.

The challenge extends beyond decarbonisation: generation, networks, supply chains, operations and water systems must scale and evolve together, integrating variable renewables, supporting electrification, enabling digital growth and maintaining reliable services under climate and operational pressures. Delivering this transformation will also depend on the capital and capabilities needed to move technologies from innovation to deployment at scale.

The Cleantech Theatre will bring together utility leaders, technology providers and industry experts to showcase technologies transforming power, water and industrial systems. Covering clean generation, hydrogen, industrial decarbonisation, AI-driven utilities, smart grids, storage, water innovation and sustainable mobility, the theatre will highlight solutions strengthening performance, resilience and scalability across interconnected utility systems.
