The team of Business Russia successfully completed its participation in the 26th International Oil and Gas Exhibition ADIPEC-2022 in Abu Dhabi. Within four days, more than 100 meetings and negotiations with representatives of the UAE oil and gas companies, including the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), took place at the site of the largest energy industry event. "We noted the great interest of the Emirati partners in the Russian companies' technologies, a number of contacts have the potential for further development," Maksim Zagornov, Business Ambassador of Business Russia to the UAE, said.
The ADIPEC-2022 exhibition is the flagship international energy event that annually gathers business leaders from all over the world on one platform. This year, the event took place amid unprecedented turbulence in the energy market and global economy. The central theme of ADIPEC-2022 sounded as follows: 'The Future of Energy: Secure, Affordable and Sustainable'.
One of the key points of ADIPEC was the speech by H.E. Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), in which he called for "maximum energy with minimum emissions."
"The world needs all possible solutions. It is not just oil and gas, not solar or wind power, not atomic or hydrogen energy. It includes oil and gas, and solar, and wind, nuclear, and hydrogen power. It includes all of the above plus clean energies, which have yet to be discovered, commercialized and deployed," Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, CEO of ADNOC said.
A wide range of innovative technological solutions in the field of energy was presented at the site of ADIPEC-2022 by Russian companies this year.
33 exporters from 16 Russian regions, including Business Russia companies, presented their products at the collective Made in Russia exposition of the Russian Export Center. Representatives of UAE oil and gas companies were particularly interested in the products of MKC Group of Companies, one of the leaders in the sphere of distributed power generation in Russia. "We noted the great interest of the Emirati partners in the Russian companies' energy technologies, a number of contacts have the potential for further development," Maksim Zagornov, Business Ambassador of Business Russia to the UAE, said.
In particular, the Business Russia team held a meeting with Dr. Ibrahim Al Hajri, Vice President of Khalifa University of Science and Technology, at the site of ADIPEC-2022. During the negotiations, the issues of cooperation on the implementation of projects in the field of hydrogen energy were discussed. Negotiations were also held with Commercial Director of the KEZAD Free Zone Khalid Al Marzooqi, during which organizational issues on launching the production site of the companies belonging to the members of Business Russia were discussed. On the final day of ADIPEC, a meeting with Dr. Salem Al Qubaisi, Head of the Corporate Planning Department (Business Excellence) of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), took place.
Within 4 days, more than 100 B2B meetings were held with owners and top managers of oil and gas companies of the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, as well as a number of European countries. Business Ambassador of Business Russia to the UAE Maksim Zagornov evaluated the business organization team's participation in the ADIPEC-2022 exhibition as a successful one.
