ENOC Group to host Middle East’s first LPG Week
ENOC Group, the official integrated energy partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, will be the exclusive host of the Middle East’s first LPG Week, the World LPG Association’s (WLPGA) flagship event announced in Amsterdam in 2019 during the 32nd World LPG Forum & 2019 European LPG Congress.
Under the theme “Energizing Tomorrow,” LPG Week 2021/Dubai will be held Dec. 5-9 at the Dubai World Trade Centre under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, president, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority; chairman, Dubai Airports; and chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline & Group.
The LPG Week event travels the globe annually bringing together CEOs of major LPG companies, government ministers and representatives of major intergovernmental organizations, as well as media, to explore the LPG business, discuss its growth potential and forge new business relationships.
This year’s LPG Week will follow a hybrid concept. In parallel with the in-person event, LPG Week 2021 will also take place on the Swapcard online event platform, available on web and mobile.
“At ENOC, we understand our responsibility toward providing clean energy for future generations,” says His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, ENOC. “Our partnership with the World LPG Association is aligned with our commitment to support the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 to help generate 75 percent of Dubai’s total power output from clean energy by 2050.”
LPG Week offers an opportunity to discuss industry best practices and challenges, he adds, through discussions that will support the industry’s transformation.
“The World LPG Association is very happy to reunite the global LPG industry after the COVID-19 pandemic at the inaugural LPG Week in Dubai in 2021,” says James Rockall, the CEO and managing director of the WLPGA. “With its world-class infrastructure and excellent connections with the whole world, Dubai is the perfect place to host LPG Week. Strong support from business and government from the UAE, as well as the opportunity to associate LPG Week with Expo 2020 Dubai, proved very compelling reasons in our decision to select Dubai.”
LPG Week reunites the full LPG value chain under an umbrella of conference sessions, meetings and workshops, business and networking opportunities, and a major global exhibition.
