ADIPEC 2025: UAE to Solidify Energy Leadership
In a significant global event highlighting the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) leadership in the energy sector, the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 2025 will take place from November 3rd to 6th at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). The event, held under the patronage of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will bring together a distinguished group of leaders, decision-makers, and experts from around the world.
ADIPEC is one of the world’s largest specialized energy events. Organized by ADNOC, the event is expected to attract over 205,000 visitors from 172 countries. It will feature 2,250 exhibiting companies, 1,800 speakers, and 30 international pavilions. This extensive international presence reinforces the UAE’s position as a central hub for ideas, innovations, and investments in energy, technology, and industrial transformation.
Shaping the Future of Energy
Dr. Wafaa Ali, a professor of economics and energy, notes that the global energy system consistently needs incentives and driving factors to ensure energy sustainability and efficiently manage global demand. ADIPEC 2025, she emphasizes, is the foremost event in this context. It places issues of energy financing and investment at the forefront of the global stage, ensuring a strong link between energy, sustainable development, economic progress, and global growth rates.

The event will convene government leaders, global energy companies, financial institutions, and energy-intensive industrial sectors to discuss the future of investment in the sector. It will also promote the integration of technology and clean energy. ADIPEC 2025 will include a comprehensive program with over 380 discussion sessions, encompassing strategic and technical conferences. There will be ten main programs addressing the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the energy industry, including sustainability, innovation, and digital transformation.
Dr. Ali points out that the presence at ADIPEC reflects the increasing importance of using modern technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, in the energy industry. She confirms that the exhibition is an open platform for shaping the future of the energy sector. This will be achieved through dedicated pavilions showcasing smart robots, water desalination systems, and solutions for efficient solar panel operation, in addition to initiatives supporting innovative youth and projects aimed at reducing methane emissions.
Key Strategic Areas
ADIPEC 2025 will focus on five strategic areas that form the pillars of transformation in the global energy sector: emerging economies, natural gas and liquefied natural gas, refining, manufacturing, and chemical industries, diversity, leadership, and development, and artificial intelligence and digital transformation. This diversity reflects the sector’s expanding value chain and highlights the UAE’s pivotal role in leading the global dialogue on the future of energy.
The new edition of ADIPEC, themed “Smart Energy for Accelerated Progress,” arrives at a time when the world is witnessing fundamental changes in the energy system. These changes are driven by the growing demand for energy sources to support artificial intelligence and the growth of emerging economies. The conference and exhibition aim to discuss ways to enhance the resilience of energy systems and explore smart solutions and innovative technologies that contribute to accelerating the global transition toward a more sustainable and efficient system.
According to Dr. Ali, the conference title captures the essence of the next phase, which is to enhance smart energy to achieve accelerated progress that supports innovation and new ideas. It also stimulates emerging economies in a rapidly changing world, where energy remains the primary engine for sustainable economic growth.
In a move that strengthens the UAE’s commitment to transitioning towards a low-carbon economy, ADIPEC 2025 will witness the launch of the Chemicals and Low Carbon Solutions Exhibition. This exhibition aims to enhance Abu Dhabi’s position as a center for innovation in emission reduction.
