In a rapidly evolving global energy landscape defined by shifting power dynamics, emerging technologies, and mounting sustainability demands, ADIPEC 2025 stands as the world’s premier platform where strategic foresight meets real-world execution.

This year, the ADIPEC conferences bring together ministers, CEOs, investors, and policymakers to shape the future of energy through 12 dedicated programmes and over 380 sessions.

At the centre of this vast knowledge exchange lies the Strategic Conference, a high-level forum where leaders chart pathways for energy security, resilience, and sustainable progress.

The conference provides a platform where global leadership turns ideas into strategies and strategies into impact.

As nations and companies navigate near-term volatility and long-term transformation, discussions will explore how policy innovation, capital mobilisation, and pragmatic governance can position energy systems for sustainable opportunity.

Structured around 10 strategic programmes, the Strategic Conference delves deep into the forces reshaping global energy markets, from the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to the emergence of new regional energy powers.

These programmes are designed to align immediate needs with long-term aspirations, focusing on actionable solutions that reinforce stability, inclusivity, and growth.

The strategic programmes include:

• Global strategy.

• Decarbonisation.

• Finance and investment.

• Natural gas & LNG (new).

• Digitalisation & AI (new).

• Emerging economies (new).

• Hydrogen.

• Downstream and chemical (new).

• Maritime and logistics.

• Diversity, leadership and development (new).

The inclusion of the a reflects ADIPEC’s ongoing adaptation to the industry’s most pressing frontiers, expanding the dialogue beyond traditional energy boundaries.

WHERE STRATEGY MEETS ACTION

Under the unifying concept "Where strategy meets action", the Strategic Conference is anchored by four powerful themes that capture the critical challenges and opportunities defining the sector’s transformation:

• Geopolitics, strategic resilience and energy security.

• The technology leap: Redefining energy leadership.

• The digital pivot: Reinventing energy systems.

• The transformation agenda: Resilient strategies for an interconnected energy future.

Each theme provides a lens through which delegates can examine the interplay of technology, policy, and market forces reshaping energy systems.

The sessions will highlight how collective intelligence, innovation, and collaboration can accelerate the shift toward diversified, low-carbon energy solutions while ensuring security and stability.

As the energy transition gathers momentum, the Strategic Conference will be the forum where leaders set the direction for a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient global energy future.
