ICN Victoria at GNEC 2026: Supply chain opportunities shaping Victoria’s energy future

We are proud to be a Silver Sponsor of the 2026 Gippsland New Energy Conference and host the Supply Chain Breakfast at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre.

This focused breakfast session is designed for suppliers, subcontractors and industry partners who want to understand where opportunities are emerging across energy generation, storage and transmission, and how to position their business to compete.

The breakfast sits within GNEC 2026, which attracts around 1,000 attendees, giving suppliers access not only to the breakfast itself but also to the wider conference audience and energy sector network.

If your business wants practical market insights, direct connections and a clearer path into major renewable project supply chains, this breakfast is not to be missed:

  • Get direct insight into procurement opportunities across Victoria’s energy pipeline, including generation, storage and transmission projects.
  • Hear from major project decision makers on what opportunities are emerging and what suppliers need to know.
  • Connect with project stakeholders, industry leaders, buyers and operation teams in one room.
  • Understand how ICN Victoria can support your visibility, procurement readiness and project engagement beyond the event.
  • Use the breakfast as a practical first step into the broader Gippsland New Energy Conference and its wider industry network.

ICN Victoria is creating a practical entry point for suppliers to connect with major project opportunities.

We help businesses just like yours to improve their visibility through Gateway by ICN, understand procurement pathways, engage with Industry Advisers and build the relationships needed to compete for future work. 

Following the breakfast, we encourage you to visit the ICN Victoria stand in the Expo Hall, register on Gateway and continue the conversation with our team.
