Moving to Aberdeen reflects Scotland&#8217;s growing international leadership in energy, engineering, innovation and the net-zero transition, while expanding the Roundtable&#8217;s reach across the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harriet&#8217;s presence at the Roundtable is particularly significant. As MP for Gordon and Buchan, she represents a North East constituency at the heart of Scotland&#8217;s energy and maritime economy. Her dual shadow portfolios, overseeing both Scottish affairs and energy security, bring together the national and sectoral questions that will define the day&#8217;s conversations. Beyond her parliamentary roles, Harriet spends considerable time engaging directly with upstream supply chain companies and operators, gaining firsthand insight into the industry&#8217;s challenges, capabilities and opportunities. This ground-level understanding of how Scotland&#8217;s industrial base works, how companies navigate regulation, investment, skills and market access, makes her perspective uniquely valuable to a Roundtable focused on turning emerging technologies into real partnerships and deployable solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her keynote address will offer delegates valuable insights into energy security, industrial innovation and the role that Scotland&#8217;s capabilities must play in the sustainable economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registrations are now open.
