Held under the theme “Pathways to an Energy Future for All”, the Congress welcomed more than 33,000 participants from 135 countries, setting a new registration record and bringing together energy ministers, industry executives, policymakers and international organisations to examine the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of energy.
Officially inaugurated by HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saudi Arabia's Minister of Energy, the Congress placed energy security, supply resilience, investment and technological innovation at the centre of discussions.
