ADIPEC 2024 to focus on role of AI, finance in energy transition
ADIPEC, the world’s largest energy event, has announced that its landmark 40th edition will bring the global energy industry together to explore the key role of artificial intelligence (AI) and finance in hastening global energy transition.
It will also include three new conferences with new voices from finance, technology, youth and the Global South to help shape a more sustainable and inclusive energy future.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and hosted by ADNOC, ADIPEC 2024 will take place in Abu Dhabi on from November 4 to 7, 2024. Over 184,000-plus attendees are expected, with more than 1,800 leading innovators, experts and visionaries from energy, AI and other technologies to speak at the expanded conference.
AI-energy nexus
Tayba Al Hashemi, Chair of ADIPEC 2024 and CEO of ADNOC Offshore, said: “AI needs energy and energy needs AI. This AI-energy nexus will be a major focus of ADIPEC’s milestone 40th edition. Bringing global leaders and innovators together, we will discuss AI's potential to transform economies and industries, particularly its role in accelerating a just, orderly and equitable energy transition."
The ADIPEC Strategic Conference agenda convenes some of the world’s most influential voices to explore how technological innovation can fast-track the energy transition while highlighting the importance of cross-sector partnerships for decarbonisation.
Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events, said: “Marking 40 years since its inception, ADIPEC 2024 will be the most ambitious edition yet. The international community and global energy ecosystem will unite there around the need for decisive action to secure net zero. Featuring innovative technologies, valuable insights and influential voices, the event will deliver a renewed global commitment to creating a secure, equitable and sustainable energy future for all.”
New materials
Attendees at ADIPEC’s new Digitalisation and Technology Conference will learn how next-generation technologies, including AI, can unlock decarbonisation and efficiency opportunities presented by Industry 4.0. The agenda will showcase progress in new materials, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), while also addressing how technologies can be scaled up in a sustainable and equitable manner.
ADNOC will launch an inaugural exhibition called Energyai (Energy to the power of AI), which highlights the impact AI can have on the energy value chain, while also revealing AI’s impending demand on global energy systems. Within Energyai by ADNOC, an AI Conference will gather leaders from the energy, technology and government sectors to develop a strategic roadmap for integrating AI into the energy landscape.
The Finance and Investment Conference is another addition to ADIPEC 2024. This conference gives leaders from government, finance and energy a platform to discuss the disparity between capital flows and the investment necessary for a fair and equitable transition. The new Voices of Tomorrow Conference aims to connect the Global North and South, giving future leaders a voice in an inclusive future.
Leadership Roundtables
The ADIPEC Leadership Roundtables will also include a focus on AI. The exclusive, invitation-only closed-door discussions will explore the critical relationship between AI and energy, focusing on how AI can accelerate the development of a future-ready energy system.
Complementing the 10 conferences at the event, the Adipec Exhibition will span 16 halls and bring more than 2,200 exhibitors from the full spectrum of the global energy ecosystem together to showcase the latest breakthroughs shaping the future of energy. This includes 54 NOCs, IOCs, NECs and IECs, 30 dedicated country pavilions and four specialised industry areas focused on decarbonisation, digitalisation, maritime and logistics and AI.
