Geopolitics, competitiveness, and energy security are reshaping the renewable energy landscape. At Wind 2026, leading experts will explore what these changes mean for Europe and for the future of the energy transition.
We are pleased to announce that Henning Gloystein, Director at Eurasia Group, will join Wind 2026 as a speaker in the Power & Energy session.
As competition between the EU, the United States, and China intensifies, renewable energy has become far more than a climate issue. It is increasingly linked to economic competitiveness, industrial policy, supply chains, and energy security.
In his presentation, ”Can Europe stay competitive in the global clean energy race?”, Henning will examine how global competition is reshaping energy markets, investment flows, and clean energy supply chains. Drawing on his extensive experience analysing geopolitical risk and global energy markets, he will discuss what Europe must do to remain competitive in the next phase of the energy transition.
Henning joins Samu Paukkunen, Vice President, Public Affairs at Fortum, whose presentation ”Renewable Energy in the Era of Geopolitics” will explore how renewable energy is influencing global power dynamics, strengthening energy resilience, and reducing dependence on authoritarian countries. He will also examine whether the European Union is taking the right steps to advance the green transition in an increasingly uncertain world.
Together, these two presentations will explore how geopolitics, energy security, industrial policy, and economic competition are shaping the future of renewable energy.
For renewable energy developers, investors, technology providers, and energy companies, understanding these trends is becoming increasingly important. The decisions being made today in Brussels, Washington, and Beijing will have a direct impact on future investments, supply chains, and market opportunities.
Join us at Wind 2026 on 29 September in Helsinki to hear these two leading experts discuss one of the most important forces shaping the energy sector today.
