This session brings together industry leaders to examine the structural barriers slowing the clean energy transition. While technology costs have fallen and ambition has grown, gaps in policy design, permitting and financing continue to delay deployment at scale. The session will explore how regulatory uncertainty, fragmented incentives and outdated market frameworks hinder investment, particularly in emerging and capital-intensive sectors. The discussion will also highlight innovative financing mechanisms, public–private partnerships and policy reforms that can unlock capital and accelerate project timelines. By focusing on practical solutions and cross-sector collaboration, this session aims to identify actionable strategies to align policy and finance with the urgency of the energy transition and drive more equitable, resilient outcomes. This session is for companies across the clean energy value chain, from developers to offtakers and grid operators.
