Description

Held in partnership with the University of Nottingham’s Energy Institute and the East Midlands Freeport and kindly sponsored by Tomato Energy, the 2024 Midlands Energy Summit will explore how businesses, academia and policy makers can come together to ensure that clean growth underpins our future economic landscape.

Identified in the Chamber's "A Manifesto for Growth 2024" as "The Big Opportunity" as to how we develop the future of energy production, storage and provision in the East Midlands, the Summit will explore the strengths of region and the role of the business community in this space.
