The Great Energy Race: the Quest for Energy Sovereignty and Competitiveness   Tuesday 20 January 2026   Join the Energy Leadership Forum 2026 in Davos for a fast-paced deep dive into the Great Energy Race, where 2025 Nobel Laureate INSEAD Professor Philippe Aghion and Lawrence Jones open with how creative disruption may redefine growth, competitiveness and the future energy mix, before sharp exchanges on the new energy power map, where capital is really moving, and how nuclear, AI and critical minerals can anchor the next power system. In a time of systemic change, the sessions are designed to provide strategic guidance on how to win the energy race, distilling hard‑won insights and exposing real‑world challenges leaders must navigate to stay competitive. After a high-intensity look at electrifying mining and unlocking industrial heat as one of the biggest untapped low‑carbon opportunities, the forum closes with a provocative question for every decision‑maker in the room: can we close the energy talent gap through upskilling and reskilling, or will robots and automation take the lead in the future workforce?   Program: Session 1 13.45 Influential Minds: Energy in the Age of Creative Disruption Philippe Aghion, Nobel Laureate 2025 in Economics,The Kurt Björklund Chaired Professor in Innovation & Growth, INSEAD Moderator: Lawrence Jones, Founder and Host, Influential Minds; Fellow, Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences   Session 2 14.15 The Energy Power Map – New Geopolitics &  Global Competitiveness Satoshi Koyama, CEO Mineral Resources Group Mitsubishi Corporation Lars Schernikau, Chairman, HMS Bergbau AG Moderator: Marco Montefiori, Founder and Host, Energy Leadership Forum   Session 3 14.45 Where Capital is Moving: the View of the Institutional Investor Andrew McDowell, Director General, European Investment Bank - Global Moderator: Marco Montefiori, Founder and Host, Energy Leadership Forum   Session 4 14.55 Nuclear, AI & Critical Minerals: Building the Next Power System Jacob Stedman, CEO, Blykalla Ceaser Siwale, CEO, Pangaea Securities Moderator: Marco Montefiori, Founder and Host, Energy Leadership Forum   15.40-15.55 Networking break   Session 5 15.55 Industrial Heat: The Biggest Untapped Low Carbon Opportunity Gerald Scheuer, Former Head of Global R&D for MV-Drives, ABB Lina Jorheden, CEO, SaltX Technology Bengt Steinbrecher, Head, Holcim MAQER Ventures Bjørn Rici Andersen, Senior Vice President Operations and Technology, ROCKWOOL Group Moderator: Marco Montefiori, Founder and Host, Energy Leadership Forum     Session 6 16.35 Winning the Deep Tech Scale Up Challenge: Electrification of Mining Fabiana Cavalcante, Global Head of Mobile e-Power, ABB Vedrana Spudic, Head of Technology, ABB Process Industries Anders Hedqvist, Head of Strategic Projects, Epiroc Lucas van Latum, Product Director, Energy Transfer and Systems, Komatsu Moderator: Marco Montefiori, Founder and Host, Energy Leadership Forum   Session 7 17.15 Closing the Energy Talent Gap: Humans or Robots?
