Name ✅, study program ✅... eeeh, what else to talk about when trying to network at a professional event?? We’ve all been there - caught in that awkward silence during a mingling session, unsure of what to say next. Oliwia from Handelshøyskolen BI, Ola from Equinor, Anna from Stavanger kommune and Julia from Universitetet i Stavanger (UiS) surely do - and they plan to use their newly aquired voluntary roles as Young Professional Board members in ETN YPB to do something about it. Their goal? To dissolve those awkward pauses and make networking professionally a fun skill, not a struggle. 🤝 Stay tuned for their ideas and initiatives to bridge the gap between academia and industry in the most innovative and fun ways! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/d8vCSFvB

🌍⚡We had the privilege of hosting four esteemed academics and leaders from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), Malaysia's top-ranked university owned by the national oil and gas company PETRONAS. UTP is renowned for its focus on engineering, technology, and energy innovation, with strong industry ties and a commitment to advancing smart and sustainable solutions globally. The delegates from wanted to connect with organizations driving technology transfer from oil and gas forward in Norway, like NORCE Norwegian Research Centre and Energy Transition Norway. And to know where to get some good salmon.   We were joined by Director of the Institute of Smart & Sustainable Living Dr. Shahrina Nordin, and senior lecturers Mubarak B. A. Wahab, Nasir Jalil and Rohani Bt Salleh.   Egil Aanestad presented our cluster’s mission, activities, and innovative projects, where Flex2power sparked particular interests with discussions about conducting a possible feasibility study in Malaysia. Izwan Ahmad from IKM Gruppen Ocean Design shared insights on IKM’s energy transition efforts in Malaysia, where initiatives on repurposing and recycling wind turbines caught the delegates interest in particular.   Additionally, Terje Hauan from SEID AS introduced the potential of their ColdSpark Technology, adding another exciting layer to the conversation - so exciting in fact that he received an immediate invite to have a webinar for the students at UPT!   Inspired by Norway’s leadership in the energy transition, the meeting concluded with a mutual commitment to explore a formal partnership with ETN through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), aiming to strengthen collaboration and drive progress in sustainable energy solutions. Many thanks to Atle Blomgren for connecting us and make this engaging and fruitful meeting possible. Professor Ts Dr Shahrina Md Nordin, A.C.M. FASc. FEI Dr. Nasir Abdul Jalil

👊 Kick-off for hydrogenvalleyen HyCoast på Risavika i dag. Ambisjonen er å søke EU-støtte til finansiering av en hydrogen valley på vestkysten i Norge. Forventede resultater av en Hydrogen Valley er at den bidrar til økt etterspørsel av hydrogen, bidrar til at hydrogen blir en del av det bredere energisystemet. Tilstede var Equinor, Shell, Fortescue, Dalane Energi Maritime CleanTech HydePoint Arda Energy Gasnor AS Vestland fylkeskommune University of Stavanger og Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. Energy Transition Norway og NORCE Norwegian Research Centre er fasilitator for søknaden.

☕ Coffee Break Workshoop Thursday 5.12 from 10-11AM: Join us for an engaging coffee break workshop on expanding participation in green skills training where we’ll explore innovative strategies to make technical skills accessible to all and support under-represented groups in transitioning to green jobs. 👩🔧 Why attend? We’ll highlight practical approaches like: ✅ Creating new job roles to address the green transition ✅ Raising awareness to engage women, marginalized communities, older workers, and those from declining industries ✅ Best practices in inclusive training, financial support, and mentorship programs Agenda 10:00-10:15: Opening presentation by Eléna Jabri – Tools for practical green skills development 10:15-10:45: Partner case studies – Real-world insights and short discussions 10:45-11:00: Open discussions and key takeaways Don’t miss this chance to learn, connect, and shape the future of green skills training.

🌊💡 Yesterday, 65 leaders came together at GCE Ocean Technology's Leadership Forum in Bergen to explore how the Blue Quantum Leap Energy initiative (Blått Kvantesprang Energi) can drive exports and accelerate the energy transition in the ocean industries. Flex2future was among the invitees who showcased their Flex2power concept which creates significant opportunities for scaling renewable energy in marine environments. - There were many relevant participants for Flex2future at this Leadership Forum, and we received excellent feedback on our concept after the presentation. ETN and GCE Ocean Technology continue to do a fantastic job of promoting innovative solutions and technologies, paving the way for a more sustainable ocean economy, said Knut Høiland at Flex2future. The forum provided actionable ideas and solutions that Energy Transition Norway (ETN) and GCE Ocean Technology will work on to realize the full potential of the initiative.
