Global energy projects move forward when technical ideas find investment and people build partnerships to deliver them. ADIPEC 2026 will bring the energy industry together in Abu Dhabi to make those connections possible. Join > adipec.com @ADIPECOfficial Partner. Capital can be committed during a meeting, but delivery depends on the work that follows. Technology companies and energy operators need to agree on what can be delivered under real conditions, while investors need confidence that those plans are feasible. ADIPEC 2026 provides a global meeting point for these conversations, connecting the people who can turn opportunities into projects. I would pay particular attention to partnerships that continue after the event, when commitments have to become results. Energy. Intelligence. Impact. #ADIPEC2026 #ADIPEC #Energy #Partnerships

For economies and industries, energy stability is not simply an abstract issue. No country or company can secure it on its own. ADIPEC 2026 will bring global energy leaders together in Abu Dhabi from 2-5 November. Visitor pass > bit.ly/4AWF5Ug @ADIPECOfficial Partner. In the video, Dr Sultan Al Jaber (@SultanAlJaber), Managing Director and Group CEO of @ADNOCGroup, calls for building stability instead of waiting for volatility to pass. ADIPEC 2026 is expected to bring together 239,000+ attendees, 2,250+ exhibiting companies and 1,800+ speakers across 13 conference programmes. Reliable energy supply allows industries to plan investments and economies to grow with greater confidence. Bringing together those who produce energy and those who depend on it can help turn shared concerns into coordinated action. Energy. Intelligence. Impact. #ADIPEC2026 #EnergySecurity #GlobalEnergy

10,233 submissions from 177 countries. The number gets your attention. More interesting is what the 2027 finalists are already doing: tackling maternal health, food security, energy access, water scarcity and ecosystem restoration, delivering measurable impact. @ZSP_ORG Partner And some of the examples are worth a closer look. AI is being used to predict pregnancy complications months in advance. Robotic crawlers can inspect and clean water and sewer pipes from the inside. Heat-resilient corals are being cultivated with sensor networks and 3D reef mapping. The finalists span six categories, including Global High Schools. I also like one detail in the 2027 cycle: every finalist receives financial support, not only the eventual winners.

Rising energy demand is half the equation. The harder question is whether infrastructure and capacity can grow fast enough to deliver energy where and when economies need it. ADIPEC 2026 puts this question on the table. Join > adipec.com @ADIPECOfficial Partner. Adding supply without expanding the infrastructure that delivers and manages energy can create bottlenecks. Grids, storage, logistics and digital infrastructure have to keep pace with demand. Investment and execution do too. For me, this is the real infrastructure question at ADIPEC 2026: can industry, government, finance and technology align around delivery? More energy matters. So does the system that gets it where demand is growing. Energy. Intelligence. Impact. #ADIPEC2026 #ADIPEC #Energy #Infrastructure

Gastech 2026 is entering its final stretch in Bangkok, with AI, energy, and future skills still high on the agenda today. Follow the conversation live >>> gastechevent.com The next chapter is already on the horizon: Houston 2027. @GastechEvent Partner. #Gastech #Energy One discussion today caught my attention: how AI is changing careers in energy and the skills people will need to work alongside increasingly digital systems. For me, the human side deserves the same attention as the technology. New tools can change how work is done, but people still need the knowledge and judgment to use them well. Reskilling is therefore part of the infrastructure behind technological progress. The technology will keep moving. Our ability to prepare people for it has to move with it.

Gastech 2026 is underway in Bangkok. The Opening Ceremony marked the official start of four days focused on how the energy industry responds to rising demand and pressure on energy systems. Register as a delegate: bit.ly/4yg2UFn @GastechEvent Partner #Gastech #Energy The exhibition floor is already busy, but for me the interesting part begins with the questions behind all that activity. How do we keep energy reliable as demand grows, and where can technology remove inefficiency? Investment is another part of the equation: it has to become infrastructure that works in the real world. Over the next few days, I will be following the conversations that connect technology with practical execution.

Energy has to move. How well it moves across markets depends on maritime infrastructure and fleet capacity. Gastech 2026 puts that operational question on the Strategic Leadership agenda. Register as a delegate: bit.ly/4yg2UFn @GastechEvent Partner. #Gastech #Energy What does it take to keep energy moving when routes and fuels are changing? More than supply. Shipping capacity and maritime infrastructure determine whether energy can actually reach markets when conditions tighten. Gastech puts this question on the Strategic Leadership agenda with “Advancing sustainable maritime infrastructure and fleet capacity.” Takeshi Hashimoto, Director & Chairman of the Board at Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, is among the speakers, adding the perspective of a global shipping operator. I see maritime resilience as the link between energy strategy and execution: supply on paper means little if transport capacity cannot adapt and deliver energy where it is needed.

Many people think of AI as the train. In reality, AI is the railway. The real shift is the infrastructure being built today: compute, energy, talent, and digital stack. Countries that invest in this infrastructure will shape the future of AI. My conversation with @BCG at MWC.

Energy infrastructure is now an economic strategy. Rising demand and volatile supply put resilience under pressure. At Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, leaders will discuss how policy and industry can respond. Register > bit.ly/4yg2UFn @GastechEvent Partner. #Gastech #Energy Resilience used to sound mainly like a technical requirement. Today it reaches much further, into industrial competitiveness and the continuity of services people depend on. One discussion in the Gastech Strategic Conference agenda caught my attention: “Building the energy system backbone: Resilience, flexibility and dispatchable power.” It is a very practical question. Can energy systems keep working under pressure while remaining reliable and economically sustainable? The wider speaker line-up adds another dimension, with H.E. Akanat Promphan, Minister of Energy of Thailand, and Tengku Muhammad Taufik, President & Group CEO of PETRONAS, among the confirmed leaders bringing policy and industry into the same conversation. I believe this matters. Resilient infrastructure ultimately depends on decisions that can move from strategy into real-world implementation.

I believe the quality of an energy conference is reflected in the people willing to bring their decisions, experience and varied perspectives into the same room. ADIPEC 2026 is building exactly that kind of conversation. Join > adipec.com @ADIPECOfficial Partner. What interests me is the mix of leadership behind the agenda. Wael Sawan of Shell, Patrick Pouyanné of TotalEnergies and Meg O’Neill of bp bring the perspective of major energy operators. Christian Bruch of Siemens Energy and Olivier Blum of Schneider Electric add the technology and infrastructure side. For me, this is where the value of ADIPEC 2026 is clear. Energy decisions are increasingly connected to industrial systems, digital capability, capital and long-term resilience. When leaders responsible for different parts of the energy system meet in the same place, the conversation can move closer to decisions with real operational and economic consequences. Energy.

In energy, intelligence should be judged by what it improves, not by how advanced it sounds. The Digital & Intelligent Energy Systems theme at ADIPEC 2026 gets to the point: performance must be proven in real operations. Join > adipec.com @ADIPECOfficial Partner. A model can look impressive in a lab. An engineer has to know whether it can be trusted on an operating asset. That gap between promise and practice is where technical exchange matters. Across 200+ sessions and 1,100+ expert speakers, the ADIPEC Technical Conferences will bring together the people who design, operate and improve energy systems every day. I am most interested in the conversations that examine AI against real-world requirements: reliability, safety, integration and clear human accountability. Only then does intelligence become performance. Energy. Intelligence. Impact. #ADIPEC2026 #ADIPEC #Energy #AI

AI is becoming an energy infrastructure question. Data centers, computing demand and power systems are increasingly connected. At AIxEnergy, co-located with Gastech 2026, this convergence is the focus. Register > bit.ly/4yg2UFn @GastechEvent Partner #Gastech #Energy Artificial intelligence is often discussed as if it were mainly a digital issue. In my view, the more human question is different: what kind of physical infrastructure are we building around AI, and who will benefit from it? AI growth needs energy systems that can support data centers without putting reliability and affordability under unnecessary pressure for businesses and communities. AIxEnergy, co-located with Gastech 2026, brings these two worlds into the same conversation: those building computing infrastructure and those responsible for the energy capacity behind it. If AI is going to scale responsibly, the energy side cannot remain in the background.
