Accelerating real‑world deployment of clean energy technologies.

London 19-20 May

An industry‑led initiative that brings together governments, investors, developers,and innovators to move innovative energy technologies from pilots to commercial deployment across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Bridging the Gap is an outcome‑driven summit and deployment platform that convenes the people who control risk, capital, regulation, and offtake to turn energy innovation into real‑world projects.

What it is

Why attend?

Join to tackle deployment barriers head-on: align capital and assurance, access national pilot opportunities, showcase ready-to-deploy technologies, and build deal-focused partnerships that accelerate the energy transition.

Working Group

A cross-functional group organised around technology, finance, commercial, execution, risk assurance, and regulation that maps barriers and co-develops solutions and action plans.

Bridging the Gap: Energy Innovation Deployed centres on working sessions that bring together the people who control capital, offtake, regulation, assurance, delivery and risk to move technologies from concept to real‑world deployment.
Every session is structured to tackle specific barriers and convert discussion into clear actions, commitments, and next steps.

The Summit Format

Deployment‑focused agenda: Sessions shaped by the Steering Committee and Working Group, tied to real deployment challenges and tangible outcomes.

What to Expect

National priorities on stage: National Deployment Partners present priority investment areas and pilot opportunities linked to their energy and decarbonisation plans.

Unlocking capital and assurance: Investors, financiers, insurers, and technical advisors work with innovators and developers to structure investable propositions, define clear assurance pathways, and accelerate earlier investment..

Innovation ready to deploy: Application‑vetted, deployment‑ready technologies showcased with clear next steps for pilots and scale‑up.

Networking built around deals: Structured roundtables, curated introductions, and private meetings focused on turning opportunities into projects.

Sectors in Focus

Bridging the Gap: Energy Innovation Deployed targets technologies that are ready to move from pilots to real‑world implementation across the energy system.
