Over forty years experience in oil and gas operations has established Aberdeen as one of the most influential, innovative and proactive energy cities in the world.

Many leading international energy companies are based in the city, which is recognised as the Energy Capital of Europe. Aberdeen is home to a unique concentration of around 900 energy related businesses, agencies, government bodies and research institutes. This innovative, experienced and resilient energy supply chain leads the way around the world.

These strengths have enabled Aberdeen to play an important role in accelerating the growth of the UK renewables market, into which many  technical oil and gas, research and project management skills are directly transferable.

The city is now equally committed to driving forward the UK’s renewables industry as it is oil and gas, offering significant opportunities for collaborative working through established and emerging partnerships.

In short, Aberdeen is equipped to spearhead the UK’s drive to secure international business in the new energy future with:

• Worldwide energy alliances and strategic connections
• Influence in energy development
• World-class research, innovation and commercialisation in energy technologies
• International project management, development and commissioning capabilities
