Abu dhabi: Against the backdrop of surging artificial intelligence (AI), energy demands, new economic powerhouses and a global transformation of energy systems, Abu Dhabi will once again take centre stage as the world gathers for ADIPEC 2025. From 3-6 November, the event will serve as a global celebration of innovation and progress, uniting the energy ecosystem to deliver the solutions that will power the future.
According to Emirates News Agency, under the patronage of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and hosted by ADNOC, ADIPEC 2025 will be held at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi. Taking place during the UAE’s Year of Community, ADIPEC 2025 will spotlight Abu Dhabi’s unique role as a global convener of technology, energy and industry, attracting more than 205,000 attendees from 172 countries.
ADIPEC 2025 will span 17 halls-featuring 30 country pavilions, four specialised industry areas, and 2,250 exhibitors-to connect energy pioneers and innovators from emerging markets and advanced economies. This configuration will create a nexus for cross-sector collaboration that accelerates system-wide transformation to unlock long-term value. The exhibition will bring together the entire energy ecosystem-from producers, policymakers and technology pioneers to investors, innovators and industrial consumers-on a single, interconnected platform.
Abdulmunim Al Kindy, Chairman of ADIPEC 2025, highlighted the importance of meeting the world’s growing demand for energy with an intelligent and pragmatic approach that embraces all viable sources and technologies to drive long-term socioeconomic growth. He stated that ADIPEC 2025 will convene the AI-energy nexus to unlock the solutions, partnerships and investments needed to build a sector that is resilient, inclusive and equipped for the next era of progress.
The event will also feature a streamlined conference programme with two comprehensive agendas-the Strategic Conference and the Technical Conference-comprising more than 380 sessions. The Strategic Conference will bring together the world’s most influential leaders, policymakers, and innovators to address the sector’s most pressing challenges. Five new focus areas-Emerging Economies, Natural Gas and LNG, Downstream and Chemical, Diversity, Leadership and Development, and AI and Digitalisation-reflect the breadth of the energy value chain and the critical issues shaping its future.
The Technical Conference will be chaired by Haitham Al Jenaibi, SVP Gas and Growth in Upstream at ADNOC, and is set to be the world’s largest of its kind. It will feature 159 curated sessions led by more than 1,100 experts, demonstrating how technical ingenuity and applied intelligence deliver measurable impact and advance global progress.
Thomas Loffler, Senior Vice President of ADIPEC at dmg events, remarked that ADIPEC 2025 is more than just a gathering-it’s where ambition becomes action and ideas become measurable impact. In today’s complex world, progress depends on harnessing all technologies and uniting every part of the energy ecosystem. By bringing together diverse perspectives from across geographies and industries, ADIPEC will help shape a resilient, inclusive, and high-growth future where energy security and sustainability advance together.
Additionally, ADIPEC 2025 will host more than 2,250 organisations from across the global energy value chain, spotlighting proven, scalable solutions that deliver impact at speed and scale. The expanded AI Zone will position Abu Dhabi as the epicentre of the global AI-energy nexus, showcasing how AI is transforming energy systems, enabling smarter infrastructure, and driving sustainable progress at scale.
Reflecting Abu Dhabi’s leadership in pioneering low-carbon innovation, ADIPEC 2025 will launch the new Low Carbon and Chemicals Expo, featuring breakthrough advances in hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, carbon capture, energy storage, chemicals, and clean energy. The event will expand its knowledge partner network with BCG, Wood Mackenzie, Deloitte, KPMG, and Accenture, providing strategic insights across key conference themes to ensure the ADIPEC programme remains the most comprehensive and forward-focused forum for intelligent energy solutions.
