what happened
According to Reuters, Egypt's Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Hussein Issa, highlighted investment opportunities in the energy sector at the opening of the ADIPEC 2026 exhibition and conference in Abu Dhabi on Monday. He said the government is working to meet the state's energy needs, improve the investment climate, develop infrastructure and adopt modern technologies.
Issa also stressed the long-standing ties and strategic partnership between Egypt and the UAE, calling the event an important platform for dialogue with industry leaders and investors.
The conference runs from November 2 to 5. According to the Egyptian cabinet, it is expected to be the largest in ADIPEC's history, with more than 239,000 visitors projected from over 170 countries. More than 2,260 companies are exhibiting across 16 halls, including 30 national pavilions, and the programme features over 1,800 speakers and more than 380 sessions on energy security, gas and LNG.
why it matters
For markets, forums like this are watched as a signal of where countries want to attract capital for oil, gas and LNG infrastructure. The remarks themselves do not change oil or gas supply and demand, but they show where investment interest in the region may be heading.
