Energy Trade Show Podcast – CERAWeek 2026 (Part 4)
We’re rolling into Part 4 of our CERAWeek by S&P Global series, where the conversations keep getting deeper, from policy and academia to AI, data centers, and the future of industrial tech

We kick things off with Dr. Monica Gattinger, Professor at the University of Ottawa, who brings a policy and global energy governance lens to CERAWeek. She shares insights on how international collaboration, energy security, and regulatory frameworks are shaping the broader energy transition conversation happening across the conference.

Next, we chat with Nathan Hartwig from Biatech, diving into innovation happening at the intersection of technology and energy systems, and how emerging players are finding opportunities in a rapidly evolving landscape.

We also catch up with Talha Faiz of Candid Technology, who recently made the move from San Francisco to Houston, highlighting the continued shift of energy and tech convergence toward Houston as the epicenter for building real-world energy solutions.

Then, Cyndi Lea of Kraken Engineering sits down with Sam Hodge from World Wide Technology to talk about one of the biggest themes at CERAWeek: data. From industrial environments to hyperscale data centers, they unpack how capturing, structuring, and leveraging data is becoming foundational to AI adoption across energy.

And finally, we wrap with Lance Olmsted from IFS, exploring how industrial AI is moving from buzzword to deployment.

From global policy to boots-on-the-ground AI implementation, Part 4 is all about how energy, data, and technology are converging in real time.
