Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC)

Target audience: Companies already operating in, or exploring the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific region. Attendees include C-Level executives from national and international oil companies along with major private operating companies.

The Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) will lead Canada’s participation at ADIPEC 2025, the world’s leading energy conference and exhibition, held annually in Abu Dhabi. With over 205,000 attendees from 172 countries in recent years, ADIPEC has firmly established itself as a global center for energy innovation, investment, and policy discussion.

At this influential event, the TCS will help Canadian companies position themselves at the forefront of key industry changes in areas where Canada offers world-class solutions, including: 

• artificial intelligence
• digitalization
• automation

By leveraging ADIPEC’s specialized innovation zones and extensive networking opportunities, the TCS will actively promote Canadian capabilities in:

• low-carbon technologies
• clean hydrogen
• carbon capture
• sustainable energy systems

As the energy sector evolves with complex geopolitical and market shifts, the TCS will help Canadian firms navigate trends such as energy security, the rise of emerging markets, and cross-border infrastructure development. Through strategic promotion and targeted connections, companies will be well-positioned to engage with global decision-makers, buyers, and investors seeking innovative, resilient solutions. Participation at ADIPEC provides an opportunity for Canadian companies to demonstrate leadership in advancing low-carbon technologies worldwide.
