Two decades ago, BI Norwegian Business School and IFP School joined forces to launch the Executive Master of Management in Energy (EMME). Since then, this partnership has been bridging academia and industry, equipping leaders to navigate and transform the global energy landscape. More than 560 leaders from across the world have graduated with the degree from this joint programme.
The energy sector is no longer defined by a single challenge. Today, the industry is shaped by the interplay of market dynamics, sustainability goals, geopolitical tensions, and security risks.
Meet experts from across the energy system, including oil and gas, renewables, power markets, and emerging technologies. Join conversations about economic, strategic, and technological perspectives to increase your understanding of regulation, geopolitics, and risk.
