Egypt: EGYPS 2023 will be the largest edition

As the final preparations are well underway, Egypt is set to host the largest edition of the Egypt Petroleum Show (EGYPS) 2023 on February 13-15, with the aim of driving global efforts towards sustainable energy.

Themed “North Africa and The Mediterranean: Supporting Sustainable Global Energy Supply and Demand”, EGYPS 2023 is held under the auspices of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and with the support of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.

For the first time, EGYPS 2023 will witness the participation of over 50 new companies, along with the presence of more than 50 affiliates to the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.

The upcoming edition will take place with an expanded exhibition space, hosting more than 500 exhibitors, including 28 National and International Oil, Energy, and Service companies, namely Chevron, Kuwait Energy, Cheiron, Dragon Oil, ExxonMobil, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), South Valley Egyptian Petroleum Holding Company (Ganope), Apache, bp, TotalEnergies, Enppi, Petrojet, and Schneider Electric.

“Next year, EGYPS has an expanded agenda enabling the exchange of ideas and information, which includes the Strategic Conference, focusing on 3 main pillars: Geopolitical and global economies, energy transition and energy solutions, and the next generation oil, gas, and energy ecosystems”, Christopher Hudson, president at dmg events, the organiser of EGYPS, said.

It will feature 13 international pavilions, hosting world-class companies and products from leading energy countries, including China, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Italy, Scotland, India, Turkey, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates.

EGYPS 2023 will bring together C-suite officials of international energy companies and attract more than 32,000 attendees, including global industry experts, leaders, and decision-makers from the oil, gas, and energy community. Over 260 speakers will address sustainable climate-conscious production of oil and gas, energy transition and decarbonisation, and actions to deliver a net-zero future.

With an inflow of investments projected to expand by $26 billion, Egypt continues to boost its energy exports and strengthen its positioning as a dynamic and growing energy hub.

It will outline both the potentials and challenges to ensure energy security, in addition to leveraging on the outcomes achieved by the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum (EMGF).

“The Show would deliberate a number of important topics including sustainability in the energy sector – for the first time at EGYPS – the conference on finance and investment, the conference on gender equality in the energy sector, and the technical conference.” Hudson added.

Shaped by engineers, and created for the industry – the EGYPS Technical Conference has been curated by over 80 technical experts under the guidance of Technical Chairman Samir Elkareish, Vice Chairman for Energy Transition at EGAS, who will represent a global industry-wide call for papers campaign featuring 19 technical categories and a thorough two-stage Technical Committee review

Moreover, Salman Abou Hamzeh, vice president of dmg Events, highlighted that EGYPS has been reflecting opportunities to spearhead the petroleum sector’s growth and ongoing evolution. From policy to innovation breakthroughs, EGYPS is a prestigious platform that allures the best minds and provides a collaborative environment for sharing ideas with high-level, relevant audiences from the government, civil, energy, academic, and business sectors.

The exhibition will feature dedicated zones on Digitalisation in Energy, and for the first time, the Offshore and Marine zone, empowering the global energy sector to forge new cross-sector collaboration and improve existing business alliances to maximise value across firms and foster future growth.

The 2023 edition is also set to host the Young Professional and Youth Engagement Programme, supported by headline sponsor ExxonMobil. The programmes bring together the passion and talents of industry students and young professionals, to stimulate engagement and knowledge exchange.

EGYPS 2023 will also feature two Awards Ceremonies that celebrate outstanding talents and impactful projects, namely Global Equality in Energy Awards and Sustainability in Energy Awards.
