Senior officials from foreign companies operating in the oil, gas, and technology sectors stated that the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC) is the ideal platform for making deals and agreements, as well as for marketing products and services, forging new partnerships, and expanding business operations. They told 'Emirates Today' that some of them have been participating in the exhibition as exhibitors for years, while others visited two years ago and are now among the exhibitors, having found significant opportunities for companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises working in the oil services, technologies, and artificial intelligence sectors. They confirmed they have booked spaces for next year's edition, calling for more facilitation in transportation due to the high turnout, congestion, and increased demand for hotel rooms. In detail, the Sales Manager of 'Solidstone Orient Technology', Yin Liu, said: 'We came from Sichuan province in China for the first time to attend ADIPEC as visitors two years ago, and we decided to participate as exhibitors in this edition after confirming that the exhibition is the ideal platform to showcase company products and conduct deals.' He added, 'The company specializes in modern technologies related to the energy sector in general, along with related industrial products, and what distinguishes ADIPEC is the large number of visitors and exhibitors from all over the world. We met people from Russia, Europe, the Middle East, and America, which constitutes a good opportunity for networking, building partnerships, seizing opportunities, and learning about the latest technologies and work methods using artificial intelligence applications.' Liu continued, 'We will ensure our presence in next year's edition, and at the organizational level, there are many facilities and services, but we aspire to find greater fluidity regarding congestion and provide more transportation means due to the great demand for the exhibition.' On his part, an official from 'Statton Middle East', Rene John, said: 'Our company's headquarters is in Switzerland, and we have a regional office in Dubai. We are participating in ADIPEC for the second time and see it as an ideal platform for making deals and expanding business, given the large number of investors and all types of companies.' He added, 'Each edition of ADIPEC brings new clients from all over the world, which is why large, medium, and small companies strive to attend, showcase their latest offerings, and book for the following year.' For her part, the Assistant Director of the Indian company 'Sherden', Andumathi Roda Murti, said: 'We work in the field of oil services, smart solutions, and applications and have a variety of products. We strive to be present at ADIPEC to meet clients from all over the world, and we consider the exhibition an opportunity for contracts and deals.' She added, 'We participate in the exhibition regularly, and we recognize its importance to the oil and gas industry as one of the most important and largest exhibitions in the world,' noting that oil and gas services are strongly trending towards artificial intelligence applications in all stages, and this is what companies are currently competing in, and it is expected to achieve a major leap in the coming years.
