About this event
We are excited to announce the return of the prestigious EICConnect – UK & Ireland Energy kicking off with a pre event drinks reception on Wednesday 19 November, followed by a full day of engaging discussion on Thursday 20 November 2025.
EICConnect is the EIC’s flagship meet-the-buyer event organised around the world providing attendees with information on a range of business opportunities in different locations, dedicated to fostering and nurturing business partnerships and supporting members to expand their customer base.
At present there are over 1,454 projects across all of the energy sectors in the UK which could see expenditure of $942 bn, as tracked in EICDatastream, and as such presenting an abundance of opportunity for the local supply chain, despite the changes in the energy landscape over the past few years. Between now and 2030 some $403 billion of expenditure is expected to be seen with, with mature renewables set to represent 35% of the spend.
EICConnect – UK & Ireland Energy will enable delegates to engage, discuss and identify business opportunities across all energy sectors within the UK across a variety of panel sessions and contractor updates. Delegates will also have the opportunity to arrange 1-2-1 meetings with key organisations - with EIC members and exhibitors receiving priority for these bookings - and they will also benefit from the opportunity to attend a networking drinks reception.
Sessions will include industry insights from operators, developers and contractors who will share detail of UK projects and subsequent supply chain opportunities across all energy markets in the UK - including but not limited to Onshore and Offshore wind, Hydrogen, CCUS, Nuclear, Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Decommissioning– across Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Ireland. We recognise the UK supply chain is also keen to understand more about opportunities on the operations and maintenance too. Through EIC AssetMap companies can focus on O&M, later life and decommissioning opportunities. EIC AssetMap can assist you in locating the companies and individuals involved on facilities.
Join us to gain valuable project knowledge for your business, enhance your network, make new connections and raise your company’s profile with key energy players in our region.
