Programme

This session explores how modern grid infrastructure becomes the backbone of industrial competitiveness and climate action. Industry leaders, technology pioneers and investors discuss how AI-driven orchestration, large-scale energy storage, and advanced grid technologies create the foundation for reliable, flexible power systems that can handle the complexities of renewable integration while maintaining industrial-grade reliability.

In alignment with the COP30 presidency’s emphasis on practical implementation, this panel will showcase key milestones in hydrogen-powered gas turbine technology in Brazil and Sweden that demonstrate real-world progress and lay the groundwork for global replication and scaling of hydrogen solutions.    

Making decarbonization happen in a cost-efficient way for our industry. Now is the time for industrial companies to capture the potential of waste heat recovery.

Export credits can be used in both emerging and developed markets to crowd in private capital, underpinned by a robust environment and social due diligence. In this session, we will explore practical examples of how export credits can be used to make climate finance more accessible. We will also hear how export credit agencies from several countries are collaborating to align trade finance with climate goals through the Net Zero Export Credit Agency Alliance.

This roundtable explores how innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic private sector engagement can unlock sustainable value chains in the Amazon region that transform forest-based resources into equitable market opportunities, contributing to a thriving bioeconomy that supports environmental conservation, climate resilience and inclusive economic development.

This session explores the intersection of energy and AI, highlighting how data centers are reshaping global energy demand. 

This dialogue brings together religious leaders and the business community to explore how values, ethics, and belief systems can inspire greater ambition in the green transition.

SKF’s session at COP30 spotlights how sustainability, efficiency, competitiveness, and resilience are interconnected—not competing—goals. 

Turning national commitments into financed transitions requires more than policy ambition. It demands an architecture that connects data, governance, and capital. Building on the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake and the emerging NDC 3.0 agenda, this roundtable conversation brings together governments, financiers, international organizations and networks, and solution providers to share insights and co-develop the practical building blocks of investable NDCs.

As renewable energy adoption accelerates and demand begins to increase, grid infrastructure is under growing pressure. 

As NDC 3.0 takes shape following the first Global Stocktake, attention must shift from ambition to implementation and investment. 

To define and align how fossil-free value chains deliver both climate impact and business value—through collaboration, shared metrics, and demand-signals.  

Highlight how the private sector is driving the circular and resilient transformation of cities — turning climate ambition into growth and competitiveness.
