The two submission categories that saw the biggest increases were Energy Transition and Decarbonization, and AI and Digital Transformation, with 38 percent and 32 percent growth, respectively. These increases reveal the energy industry’s growing focus on emerging digital technologies and efforts to decarbonize in support of the energy transition, which are a major focus of ADIPEC this year, reflected across its dynamic conference and exhibition agenda.

The number of submissions from Arab and African countries also saw a significant increase over last year, rising 50 percent and 28 percent, respectively. Submissions from the Asia & Pacific Region, North America, and the Middle East also saw double-digit growth.

Christopher Hudson, president of dmg events, the organiser of ADIPEC, said: “Decarbonization presents many challenges and opportunities for all sectors. ADIPEC’s focus on platforming low-carbon energy innovations to power industry, empower lives, and accelerate global prosperity makes its Technical Conference a critical forum to advance a sustainable, secure and equitable energy future. This year’s record number of submissions, along with the substantial increases in geographical and category-specific contributions, highlights the alignment of our agenda with the industry’s needs and the global commitment to be part of the solution.”
