The 2026 Renewable Growth Conference brought together businesses, educators, industry leaders and public sector organisations from across North Wales and beyond for a day dedicated to shaping the future of renewable energy, sustainable growth and regional collaboration.
Hosted by the Deeside Business Forum at Coleg Cambria’s Deeside Sixth campus, the conference welcomed delegates from a wide range of sectors to explore the opportunities and challenges facing one of the UK’s fastest-growing industries.
The event featured a packed programme of expert speakers, panel discussions and interactive seminars, covering topics including renewable technologies, heat source and drilling, industrial innovation, recruitment and skills development, finance, communications and the future workforce. Throughout the day, delegates had the opportunity to hear from industry experts, ask questions, share experiences and build valuable new connections.
The Deeside Business Forum would like to extend its sincere thanks to every speaker who generously shared their knowledge, experience and vision throughout the day. Their insight and willingness to engage with delegates created informative and thought-provoking discussions that were appreciated by everyone in attendance.
The Forum also expresses its gratitude to its sponsors and partners, whose continued support made the conference possible. Their investment in events such as the Renewable Growth Conference demonstrates a shared commitment to supporting economic growth, innovation and the long-term success of the region.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to everyone who attended. The enthusiasm, engagement and willingness to contribute to discussions created a fantastic atmosphere from the moment delegates arrived through to the final networking session. The conversations sparked throughout the day will continue long after the event has finished.
Special recognition must also go to the many people working behind the scenes. Thank you to Coleg Cambria Deeside Sixth for hosting the event and providing outstanding facilities, and to our room moderators Carole Green, Tim Rogers and Rob Shelley, whose professionalism ensured each seminar ran smoothly.
Finally, the Deeside Business Forum would like to thank its Board Members, volunteers and organising team for the months of planning and preparation that went into delivering another successful conference. Their dedication and commitment ensured every aspect of the day ran seamlessly.
Following the success of this year’s conference, the Deeside Business Forum looks forward to welcoming delegates back to future events as it continues its mission of supporting business growth, strengthening regional partnerships and championing economic development across North Wales.
Thank you once again to everyone who played a part in making the 2026 Renewable Growth Conference such a memorable and successful event.
