Industry Trends and Insights

Our most recent Foresight webinar focused on fusion energy, and explored not only the accelerating progress of the UK fusion sector but, more importantly, the breadth of industries that fusion is poised to transform. Fusion energy, long seen as a vital element in the clean energy transition, is certainly central to the UK's Net Zero 2030 targets. However, this session highlighted a more expansive role for fusion. Its impact is already being felt today across multiple sectors,

We are pleased to announce that the Nuclear Industries Association has joined The Foresight Event 2026 as an event Partner. As we are set to bring together senior decision-makers from government, industry, and finance to deliberate on the most critical challenges and opportunities within the clean energy landscape, the programme will dedicate substantial and timely attention to the future of new nuclear energy, while also addressing other facets of the UK’s Net-Zero transiti

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is widely seen as the aviation industry’s clearest route to net zero — but as the experts at Foresight’s recent webinar made clear, the challenge now is moving from promise to production.

The Foresight Event, in partnership with the North West Hydrogen Alliance, recently hosted a webinar titled “Hydrogen to Power: Bridging the Gap to Net Zero.”  The session brought together industry and government leaders to explore the opportunities and challenges of the Hydrogen-to-Power business model and its implications for the UK business sector. The discussion was moderated by March Floyd  of Energy Voice . Making a guest appearance from the Department for Energy Securi

Despite the benefits of renewable energy, the challenge lies in Energy storage. As the UK accelerates toward a net zero energy system, we need to develop systems that will help us to store renewable power efficiently, affordably, and at scale. At a recent Foresight webinar, experts from academia, industry, and the Energy Storage Association discussed what it will take to make grid-scale storage the backbone of a reliable, decarbonised power system. Professor Victor Becerra, P

On 25 September, Foresight hosted From Transition Plans to Capital Flows – The UK’s Sustainable Finance Agenda - here’s what stood out. A Turning Point for UK Transition Finance The UK is at a critical point in terms of transition finance. With the government consulting on mandatory climate transition plans , whilst considering findings from the Transition Finance Market Review (TFMR) , stakeholders across finance and industry are asking: How do you make transition plans cred

New sector developments, including a Marine Task Force to drive policy and strategy, is leaving the marine energy sector on the cusp of industry-scale If you were to sum up the state of the UK’s marine energy sector in one phrase, it would be this: on the cusp of industrial reality . That was the clearest takeaway from Foresight Events’ recent webinar, Offshore Energy Tech: The Next Wave of Innovation , where leaders from across the ecosystem came together to reflect on a def

The UK’s ambitious plans for AI and digital growth are running up against major risks to the nation’s energy security and Net Zero targets, with experts calling for more joined-up infrastructure planning.
