Abu Dhabi, 24 October 2025: As global priorities shift and new trade and regulatory dynamics reshape the energy landscape, ADIPEC 2025 will place finance and investment at the heart of its agenda, convening the world’s leading investors, financiers and policymakers to accelerate the capital needed to build secure, sustainable and future-ready energy systems.

With global energy usage projected to increase by nearly 50% by 2050 (U.S. Energy Information Administration) and meeting this demand requiring over US$275 trillion in cumulative investments (McKinsey), ADIPEC 2025 will act as a vital platform to mobilise capital and drive the innovation essential for long-term energy security and decarbonisation.

Under the theme ‘Energy. Intelligence. Impact.’, ADIPEC 2025 will highlight how finance is building resilience in today’s energy systems and scaling the intelligent solutions needed for system-wide transformation. Through cross-sector collaboration, inclusive investment and global partnerships, the event will explore how capital can accelerate innovation, support emerging economies and power the technologies defining the next era of global progress.

Mazin Khan, CFO, Masdar, said: “Masdar is one of the most globally diversified renewable energy companies in the world today, but our success story began here in Abu Dhabi. ADIPEC provides a unique platform to engage energy leaders, investors, and innovators, and to share how we have transformed into an industrial clean energy developer with engines for growth across major markets in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.”

Tristan Attenborough, MD, Global Head of Natural Resources Group and Head of Global Advisory, J.P. Morgan Payments, said: “We have a long history of supporting the full spectrum of financial services capabilities energy firms require, with a deep understanding and knowledge of the region. ADIPEC provides a unique environment where financial leaders, energy innovators, and policymakers converge to share insights. This cross-sector collaboration supports our goal of enabling next-level treasury and mobilising capital across all channels that helps drive scalable, low-carbon energy solutions while balancing risk and long-term value creation and is essential for accelerating the global energy transition.”

Driving strategic dialogue on the future of energy finance

In a world reshaped by market volatility and shifting policy priorities, energy security, affordability and sustainability have re-emerged as core considerations in investment decision-making. The Finance & Investment programme within the ADIPEC Strategic Conference will unite financial institutions, investors, policymakers and industry leaders to explore how capital can be deployed to strengthen today’s systems while scaling the low-carbon and digital infrastructure of tomorrow.

Reflecting ADIPEC’s global perspective, the programme will examine how investment can be channelled toward emerging economies, where rapid industrialisation, demographic growth and rising digital demand are redefining the global opportunity map. Sessions will also explore how collaboration between developed and developing markets can close capital gaps, de-risk frontier projects and enable inclusive growth across the Global South.

Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events, said: “The future of energy will be shaped by those who mobilise the finance behind it – and ADIPEC 2025 is where that journey comes to life. Whether it’s innovative finance mechanisms, carbon markets or infrastructure investment, we’re creating the platform for investors and industry leaders to move from dialogue to delivery. Last year’s US$10 billion in deals proved that ADIPEC is where energy transactions get done – and this year, we’re building on that momentum.”

Enabling strategic partnerships through a diverse exhibition floor
