New materials
Attendees at ADIPEC’s new Digitalization and Technology Conference will discover how next-generation technologies, including AI, can unlock the decarbonization and efficiency opportunities presented by Industry 4.0. The agenda will showcase advances in new materials, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), while also addressing how the technologies can be extended in a sustainable and equitable manner.
ADNOC will launch an inaugural exhibition titled Energyai (Energy to the Power of AI), which highlights the impact AI can have on the energy value chain, while also revealing the looming demand for AI on global energy systems. Within the energyai hosted by ADNOC, an AI conference will bring together 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 provides government, finance and energy leaders with a platform to discuss the disparity between capital flows and the investments necessary for a just and equitable transition.
