"We are thrilled to have Dr. Varun Sivaram speak at the ONS conference 2024. He has shown he is a true globale thinker, and that he belongs on TIME 100 Next list of the next hundred most influential people in the world. We are certain his insights will spark discussion and inspire attendees towards a sustainable energy future," says Inger Lise Rettedal, Programme Director at ONS.

He is currently serving as Senior Vice President at Ørsted, a key player in renewable energy, Dr. Sivaram's talk will shed light on corporate strategy, technology innovation, and the future of clean energy.

With a distinguished career that spans corporate, policy, and academic sectors, Dr. Sivaram held influential roles in the U.S. Biden-Harris administration, managing clean energy initiatives and spearheading flagship programs like the First Movers Coalition. His impactful journey also includes serving as Chief Technology Officer at ReNew Power Limited, India's leading renewable-energy firm.

His background as advisor to the Biden-Harris administration and extensive understanding within renewables makes him a highly interesting young voice to ONS, Rettedal adds.
