BU DHABI: The world’s largest and most influential energy exhibition, ADIPEC 2025, concluded successfully in Abu Dhabi, marking a major milestone in the global shift toward AI-driven, smart, and sustainable energy systems.
Held from November 3 to 6, the annual event attracted more than 239,000 participants, including top energy leaders, innovators, and policymakers from across the world. Over USD 46 billion worth of deals were signed during the four-day exhibition, reaffirming ADIPEC’s role as a cornerstone of global energy cooperation and innovation.
This year’s theme — “The Global Shift Toward Smart, Sustainable Systems” — emphasized Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the defining force transforming the global energy landscape. From optimizing fuel efficiency to enhancing predictive maintenance and supporting decarbonization goals, AI was showcased as the backbone of future energy ecosystems.
Spanning 17 exhibition halls and featuring 2,250 exhibitors and 30 national pavilions, ADIPEC 2025 provided an expansive view of the evolving energy industry.
