Global leaders and other stakeholders in the energy sector convened at the opening day of ADIPEC 2023. The event seeks to advance decarbonizing current energy systems. It also hopes to pave the way for a new energy system in the future.
In addition to a top-level agenda, ADIPEC also features an exhibition program that covers energy-related technology, innovation, and digitalization. More than 160,000 attendees from 164 countries are expected to attend the four-day event at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi.
Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, ADIPEC 2023 has adopted the theme of ‘Decarbonizing. Faster. Together.’ The event is taking place just seven weeks before the UAE hosts COP28. Thus, it provides an excellent platform to convene energy and related industries to align on the lower-carbon, high-growth future of energy.
ADIPEC tradition of innovation
ADIPEC builds on its nearly 40-year legacy of innovation to showcase and platform the cutting-edge technologies and systems critical to achieving the global energy transition. Companies from across the energy ecosystem will showcase the innovations and technologies driving the industry’s journey to Net Zero, including direct air capture (DAC), carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), green hydrogen electrolysers, power-to-x, artificial intelligence (AI) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Visitors can also attend Innovation Sessions, where industry experts will share insights on new ways of thinking and working that are driving decarbonization at scale and pace. Split across three dedicated tracks – Decarbonization, Maritime and Logistics, and Digitalization in Energy – the sessions are designed to facilitate solution-orientated dialogue in a curated program format. They are complemented by the Cross-Sector Co-Lab Program, where visitors can explore the cross-industry partnerships that are accelerating the energy transition.
Partnerships and collaborations
ADIPEC will enable visitors to connect with over 2,200 global companies across 16 exhibition halls and 30 country pavilions. This makes it an ideal platform to drive business growth through its invaluable opportunities for networking, deal-making, and knowledge exchange.
This year, ADIPEC also includes four specialized areas focused on facilitating cross-sector collaboration and game-changing partnerships. These include: Decarbonization Accelerator, Maritime & Logistics Zone, Digitalization in Energy Zone, and Manufacturing & Industrialization Exhibition & Conference. The Maritime & Logistics Zone is located in the Marina Hall, which also includes the Maritime & Logistics Technical and Strategic Conferences.
Christopher Hudson, president of dmg events, organizers of ADIPEC 2023 said: “ADIPEC 2023, with its bold conference agenda and massive exhibition plan, presents visitors with unparalleled opportunities for collaboration, partnership, learning, and investment. Never before have we gathered so many cutting-edge innovations, powerful partnerships, visionary global leaders, disruptive innovators, and thought leaders in one place, all contributing to a decarbonized energy transition.”

More than 1,600 speakers, including over 40 ministers and 120 c-suite executives from around the world, will address 350 sessions. They will share strategies and innovative ideas to accelerate collective, responsible action to future-proof energy.
ADIPEC has arranged a free park-and-ride service for visitors. They can be picked up and dropped off between ADNEC and the Zayed Sports City parking location every 5 minutes. The schedule runs from 8:00-18:30, between 2-5 October 2023.
