SUMMARY:WA | YEP-FACCI Shaping Energy’s Future Through International Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:The French Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI)​ and Young Energy Professionals (YEP)​ invite you to join the panel discussion: ‘Shaping Energy’s Future Through International Collaboration’ on 25 March 2026 at 5:30 PM at the GHD Building​ in the Perth CBD. The event will feature a moderated panel discussion followed by casual drinks and networking\, specifically designed for the Franco-Australian business community in Perth and young energy professionals. \nPanelists: \n\nFrancois Dupeyroux (Moderator) – Managing Director of Sia\nBill Johnston – Former Minister\, Non Executive Director\, Helping with strategy of the McKell Institute\nIris Bua – Segment Director\, Power and Grid of Schneider Electric\nPeter Sadler – Dispute Resolution Partner\, HFW Australia\n\nThe discussion is built around the inherent complexity of energy innovation\, specifically the urgent need to balance the “energy trilemma” while managing long-lived infrastructure within a heavily regulated and politically sensitive environment. Because these constraints can often slow down vital experimentation\, we will highlight how cross-border cooperation and harmonised frameworks serve as the ultimate catalysts for change. \n
