Welcome to the Thursday edition of The Discourse, our current affairs feature here on Rise and Shine, where we explore key global, continental and national issues shaping politics, the economy and society. This morning we are focusing on the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition in Rotterdam, the clean energy sector's flagship annual gathering. The event is produced and managed by RX Global in partnership with the Sustainable Energy Council, and supported by Dutch authorities and the Port of Rotterdam. It brings together thousands of industry leaders, policymakers and investors to accelerate the global hydrogen economy and advance decarbonisation efforts. More than 15,000 delegates are attending this year's event. Tsepiso Makwetla spoke to Gareth Rapley, Portfolio Manager for Energy and Marine at RX Global, to reflect on the key developments and discussions emerging from this year's summit.
