ADIPEC 2023: Driving global energy transformation and business growth
Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and hosted by ADNOC, ADIPEC 2023 promises to be a catalyst for practical action and credible solutions to address the pressing challenges in energy and climate. The primary objectives is to foster thought leadership, forge cross-sector partnerships, and inspire innovation that will drive the clean, affordable, and reliable energy transition required globally.
Scheduled to take place from 2-5 October, under the theme, Decarbonising Faster Together, ADIPEC aims to gather over 160,000 attendees from around the world, including energy producers, consumers, government representatives, finance experts, and technology enablers.
ADIPEC 2023 occurs less than two months ahead of the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference [COP28], which the UAE will host. This timing presents an opportune platform for the energy industry to advance credible solutions and collective action toward eliminating methane emissions, phasing out carbon emissions throughout the vale chain to achieve net-zero by 2050, ensuring energy security and investment in the global south, and scaling up clean energies and decarbonisation technologies.
Tayba Al Hashemi, Chair of ADIPEC 2023 and CEO of ADNOC Offshore, emphasised the urgency of the global challenges. She stated, “By 2030, the world will be home to an additional half a billion people, demanding more energy every year. At the same time, the global challenge of climate change calls for urgent, game-changing solutions to eliminate emissions.” Al Hashemi further stressed the importance of collective efforts from governments, industries, businesses, and individuals in accelerating decarbonisation and creating a sustainable future for the energy sector.
ADIPEC 2023 will encompass over 350 conference sessions across 10 strategic and technical programs, including the introduction of the Hydrogen Strategic Conference. With more than 1,500 speakers, these sessions will explore strategies and solutions vital to achieving a cleaner and more secure energy future.
Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events, the organisers of ADIPEC 2023, acknowledged the energy sector’s responsibility in leading the global decarbonisation efforts. He stated, “As climate challenges intensify, the energy sector’s responsibility to lead the necessary progress on decarbonisation is greater today than ever before.” Hudson emphasised that ADIPEC 2023 will gather key decision-makers from the industry to accelerate innovation, collaboration, and investment, propelling the transition towards a lower-carbon future.
Covering an expansive area of 140,000 square meters, ADIPEC 2023’s exhibition will host more than 2,200 companies from around the world. The exhibition will feature four dedicated industry zones, including an expanded Decarbonisation Zone, the Digitalisation in Energy Zone, a Maritime and Logistics Zone, and a dedicated Manufacturing and Industrialisation Exhibition and Conference.
As the energy industry faces the urgent need for decarbonisation and sustainable practices, ADIPEC 2023 emerges as a vital platform for global collaboration, innovation, and tangible actions. The event’s influential role, coupled with its alignment with the upcoming COP28, promises to shape the future of energy, while addressing the world’s energy demands and combatting climate change head-on.
