Australia’s energy sector is entering a defining decade, one that demands bold commercial responses, fresh opportunities, and collaboration across industries. With the potential to become a renewable energy superpower through green hydrogen exports, large-scale solar deployment, and critical minerals supply, the opportunities are immense. Equally, Indigenous land partnerships present the chance to deliver both commercial and social impact, if managed ethically and inclusively.

Join us at our final WorldCC Connect of the year in Brisbane as we bring together commercial and contract professionals to explore the future of Australia’s energy transition and the role we play in shaping it.
