Register Now for the 2025 ADIPEC Conference November 3 – November 6, 2025 – UAE

The ADIPEC Conferences are where energy’s brightest minds come together to drive action, unlocking new opportunities for energy security, resilience and shared prosperity. Uniting leaders from across sectors, disciplines and geographies the Conferences harness diverse perspectives to scale innovation, mobilise investment and accelerate system-wide impact. Across two flagship agendas – the Strategic Conference and the Technical Conference – the ADIPEC Conferences feature 12 dedicated programmes. Across more than 380 sessions and 1,800 Speakers:, participants will explore how strategic intelligence, human ingenuity and applied technologies can deliver solutions that strengthen today’s systems while building the energy infrastructure of tomorrow. From the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the evolution of digital infrastructure, to shifting geopolitical dynamics, emerging technologies, system resilience and future workforce demands, the Conferences are where intelligent choices are made and collective action takes shape across the global energy value chain.

STRATEGIC CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

The ADIPEC Strategic Conference is where global leadership meets decisive action. Bringing together ministers, CEOs, investors and policymakers, it provides a high-level platform to shape energy’s role in securing prosperity, stability and progress in an increasingly complex world. Structured around ten programmes, the Conference explores how strategic foresight, policy innovation and pragmatic governance can confront near-term volatility while positioning energy systems for long-term opportunity. Leaders will address shifting geopolitical dynamics, capital mobilisation, AI integration and infrastructure investment across emerging and advanced economies. Discussions will examine the role of all energy sources – including natural gas and LNG, nuclear power and hydrogen – in strengthening resilience, the economic potential of new energy markets and frameworks that align immediate energy needs with sustainable development objectives. Driven by intelligence and guided by experience, the Strategic Conference is where ideas turn into strategies and strategies into real-world impact.

STRATEGIC CONFERENCE THEMES

Stability under pressure: redefining energy security now

In a world where disruption is the new normal, energy security must be redefined. No longer solely about supply stability, it is now a balancing act between reliability, sustainability and affordability. Resilience today means designing intelligent systems that can withstand shocks while delivering energy more efficiently, with lower carbon emissions and at a manageable cost. This requires a smarter, more diversified energy mix, integrating traditional fuels, renewables, nuclear, low-carbon technologies and digital innovations. Equally critical is strengthening supply chains, advancing localisation and nationalisation strategies, and leveraging natural gas as a flexible, lower-carbon bridge. In an increasingly volatile and geopolitically complex world, regional cooperation and adaptive infrastructure are essential to securing long-term energy stability and resilience.

Playbook: how do we compete in an increasingly fragmented & multipolar world?

Energy markets are being redrawn by volatility, fragmentation and fast-changing power dynamics. As global demand surges – driven by AI and emerging economies – resilience is no longer optional; it is a strategic imperative. The most competitive companies will be those embedding resilience into their business models, deploying capital efficiently, delivering reliable, low-emission energy and accelerating innovation. Amid geopolitical instability, shifting energy policies and the resurgence of tariffs, operational discipline and system-level thinking are crucial. Navigating this complexity demands more than endurance – it requires intelligent strategies that unlock productivity, ensure reliability and position energy as a stabilising force in a fractured world. These shifts are already reshaping trade f lows, investment decisions and supply chain strategies, challenging businesses to respond with agility and foresight.

Unlocking AI in energy: scaling intelligence with confidence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just enhancing energy systems, it’s transforming them. As strategic force multipliers, AI and energy are becoming twin engines of progress, unlocking new efficiencies, enabling autonomous operations, and reshaping how energy is produced, distributed and consumed. Turning this convergence into a strategic advantage will be critical to building a more secure, inclusive and sustainable future. But with AI’s exponential growth driving up power demand, secure, low-carbon and scalable energy is now essential to digital progress. From data centers and supercomputing hubs to edge devices and AI-powered industrial operations, the digital infrastructure underpinning this transformation demands unprecedented levels of energy. The question now is how we break down the barriers to scaling AI-driven energy so we can build smarter systems, stronger infrastructure and more resilient economies.

Big bets and bold capital: funding and fueling the next energy frontier

The future of energy will be shaped by those willing to make bold, strategic investments, turning capital into a catalyst for resilience, innovation and long-term value. But with volatility, policy shifts and rising costs disrupting traditional investment flows, capital allocation is becoming more complex and consequential than ever. Unlocking finance across public and private markets is now a strategic advantage. Investment is accelerating toward emerging technologies, flexible infrastructure and highgrowth markets – but it demands intelligent deployment, pragmatic decision-making and systems-level foresight. To stay competitive, companies must adapt their strategies across cycles, navigating prolonged periods of low oil prices and margin pressure, while preparing effectively during high cycles to build future resilience.
