An exclusive market briefing for Dutch businesses
The Dutch Missions in the Gulf region in partnership with the Association of Dutch Suppliers in the Offshore Energy Industry (IRO) and Middle East business intelligence experts, MEED, will be hosting the first briefing in the GCC Energy Transition Webinar Series.
The webinar will be on Thursday 24 September at 10:00 am CET (12:00 pm-1:30 pm Dubai time).
We would be delighted if you could join us for this exclusive gathering of Dutch businesses and to hear some expert market insights and data from the MEED team.
Description
The world is undoubtedly in a period of transition. Governments, industries and organizations across the globe are reflecting on how to ‘build back better’ from the COVID-19 pandemic with resilience, equity and sustainability in mind. The current low oil and gas prices have fueled discussions about the need to accelerate the energy transition. Despite their abundant oil and gas resources, many Gulf states have taken proactive steps towards energy diversification.
This briefing, the first of 3 webinars in the series, looks at general and macro trends in the Gulf energy market and how it is adapting to a sector going through a period of substantial change. It will look at the key opportunities in the market and assess how Dutch companies can benefit from the $100 billion-plus current and future pipeline of oil and gas projects.
Who should attend
Dutch businesses and SMEs with an interest in doing business in and with the Gulf energy sector.
