Wärtsilän konsernijohtaja Håkan Agnevallin vierailuluento - Strategic Leadership in the Energy Transition

Image

In his lecture, Agnevall will discuss what strategic leadership means in the context of the global energy transition. The talk will explore the technological and economic changes transforming the energy sector, as well as the leadership decisions required to guide a global technology company through this transition. He will also reflect on these themes from the perspective of his own international career in the energy and technology industries.

• The lecture offers a valuable opportunity to hear directly from a top industry leader about how the global energy system is evolving and what kinds of challenges and strategic choices companies face in the energy transition. The topic is particularly relevant in Vaasa, which is home to the EnergyVaasa cluster, the largest energy technology cluster in the Nordic countries.
