Executive Programme Energy Transition in Business and Leadership

About the programme

This executive programme focuses on the development of new business models in a period of profound and disruptive change in the energy market. It is built around three core themes.

First, the programme explores how value propositions in energy markets are changing and how new value can be created. A strong consumer focus is considered essential for long-term competitiveness and success.
Second, it examines the evolving role of energy companies within the energy transition, with particular attention to innovation, strategy and leadership capabilities.
Third, it addresses the financial dimension of the energy transition, including global investment trends and the question of how the hundreds of billions of euros required for the transition can be mobilised and financed.

The programme consists of three modules delivered across two main periods.

Modules 1 and 2 take place in the first week. The programme starts with two days at Nyenrode Business University in Amsterdam. On Wednesday, the group travels by high-speed train from Amsterdam to Berlin. During the train journey, workshops and lectures will be held on the future of sustainable mobility. The programme then continues in Berlin with two days of lectures and site visits, including the Netherlands Embassy and the EUREF-Campus, a leading centre for energy innovation and sustainability.

Module 3 takes place approximately six weeks later in London. In the intervening period, participants will write a New Energy Essay, which they will present to the group during this final module. The London module includes lectures from academics and industry experts, as well as a day trip to Oxford. This includes an exciting visit to a UK project or facility.
