Atlantic Summit Galway hears dire warning of energy supply risks
Mon, Oct 12, 2026
Ireland faces a potentially devastating energy security threat - not from cyberattacks or events on land, but from critical infrastructure hidden beneath the waters of the Irish Sea and Atlantic Ocean.
The dire warning was issued at the Atlantic Summit Galway 2026 - jointly organised by the Marine Institute, University of Galway and Atlantic Technological University, Atlantic Summit Galway was an Associated Event of Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
More than 350 policymakers, researchers, scientists, industry leaders, innovators, educators, international organisations, coastal stakeholders and early-career ocean professionals from across Europe and the wider Atlantic region attended the event. Over two days, participants explored how research, innovation, skills, and international cooperation can support a sustainable, resilient, and competitive Atlantic future.
