TECHNICAL CONFERENCE

Asia has become the world's largest and fastest growing energy demand centre. Propelled by rapid economic progress, Asian countries are shaping new supply chains, corridors, and pathways for secure and sustainable energy future.

Current trends are prompting governments to pay closer attention to the resilience and diversity of clean energy supply chains. Tight energy markets have triggered a reassessment of energy policies and priorities, resulting in profoundly recalibrated global energy trade. Sustainability of previously well-established flows of oil and gas is being increasingly questioned.

With strong economic foundations, a young aspirational population, and an investment friendly environment, India emerges as the epicentre of the global energy landscape, with the energy sector representing one of the most critical components of India’s growth. India Energy Week 2024 will showcase India’s achievement as a catalyst for global economic growth with billions of dollars of investment needed to facilitate India’s energy transition and achieve its net-zero goals.

Drawing on the expertise of technical professionals, business leaders, and industrial end users, the India Energy Week Technical Conference offers energy professionals access to the latest industry knowledge and research findings, technical expertise, new project developments, state of the art technologies and industry best practices.

A ‘by the industry, for the industry’ feature, the Technical Conference programme is created through the call for papers that is open for abstract submissions to all the companies operating within oil, gas, and energy value chain.
