PRESENT THE 6th ANNUAL HEC PARIS ENERGY DAY
SUMMARY
The 6th annual HEC Paris Energy Day conference will cover innovative
technologies that support a cleaner energy. The Energy and Utilities sectors are
affected by pressing concerns including volatile commodity prices, increased
competition, and significant capital costs. Additionally, todays global energy
demand puts considerable pressure on natural resources and environment,
and we must reinvent the ways in which energy is produced, supplied, stored,
and consumed. The value chain is increasingly becoming digital through
technological innovations such as smart fields, smart metering, smart grids, or
smart homes. Green energies have never been so competitive, but old actors
are similarly innovating to improve existing technologies. So, who will guide
this technological revolution, and how?

14h Workshops round tables
Financing & Financiers
Aligning the stars? Will the fall in oil, gas, coal, electricity prices as well as
interest rates lead to an economic disaster for some players of the energy
industry?
What is the right forward? Should we have a Top-Down or a Bottom-Up
approach?
Re-involve private finance? Is the involvement of private investors a key
for the success of financing future energies? Can we still count on public
finance, expecting countries to finance the energy transition despite their
high debt level? How can governments adjust policies and regulation to
stimulate private investments?
Innovators
New technologies or improvement of old technologies? What are these
technologies and what is their impact?
In which sector? Who will support these new offers? Oil & gas /
Electricity / Coal / Nuclear players? Will gas innovate, acting as a bridge to
reinforce clean energy/storage? Will new actors survive, or will traditional
players dominate?
In which segment? Deployment strategy: where to start? Upstream?
Midstream? Downstream? Final demand management? How impactful
should these technologies be on volumes (demand management/decrease
of primary or final energy), or on lifestyle?
