Kraken Technologies, National Grid, Octopus Energy and SSE will sponsor the UK Pavilion at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said in a news story published on 26 October 2026. The department described the four as leading clean energy and digital technology businesses.

National Grid and SSE have been official UK Pavilion partners every year since COP26 in Glasgow, according to the department, while Octopus Energy has sponsored the Pavilion since COP28. Kraken Technologies joins as a new partner. The department said all four partners met Katie White, the Minister for Climate Transition, on Thursday 15 October to discuss cooperation between government and business on accelerating the clean energy transition.

Sponsorship reduces the Pavilion's cost to the taxpayer and lets partners show delegates how UK expertise, investment and innovation can support the energy transition, the department said. The Pavilion is planned to host panel discussions, roundtables and receptions during the conference. The government said COP31 takes place from 9 to 20 November 2026 and that the Pavilion will be open for the duration of the conference.
