Mr. Gary Middleditch, Head of Trading of SOCAR talks with Dr. Kostas Andriosopoulos, Professor of Finance and Energy Economics at ESCP Europe Business School and Chairman of HAEE, about his experience engaging with the participants of the Energy Trading Challenge 2018. 

Gary Middleditch, Head of Trading of SOCAR and Supporter of the activities run by ESCP Europe and its Energy Society, talks about his experience engaging with the participants of the Energy Trading Challenge 2018. 

Dr. Kostas Andriosopoulos asked Gary his thoughts on how the energy markets are moving forward in the short term. How are the markets going to evolve? What are the key considerations in the oil market in terms of geopolitics, supply and demand? What are the key factors that may influence oil prices? How do we make money out of the market whether it goes up or down? What is the impact of market disruptors, such as electric vehicles? What is the future of oil businesses? How can we balance the oil markets? 

The energy market plays a pivotal role across the globe and security of supply remains as one of the main challenges in the industry due to a steady growth of energy demand. To successfully guarantee energy supply, it’s crucial for future energy leaders to have a 360-degree-view of the industry to make a significant contribution in the sector.
