INTRODUCTION
India is projected to witness the largest increase
in energy demand of any country over the next
two decades. Achieving India’s target of Net Zero
emissions by 2070 will need to be weighed against
the country’s growing economy, increasing energy
requirements, and the cost/implementation
of reliable energy sources, and will require a
transformation of future energy systems.
India Energy Week comes at a critical time, with the
challenges of energy security and environmental
sustainability impacting long-term energy
transition, and paths towards decarbonisation. As a
rapidly developing country, India’s energy transition
will play a pivotal role in global energy markets.
Drawing on the expertise of technical professionals,
business leaders, and industrial end users, the
India Energy Week Technical Conference offers
energy professionals access to the latest industry
knowledge and research findings, technical
expertise, new project developments, state of the
art technologies and industry best practices.
The Technical Conference programme is created
through the call for papers that is open for abstract
submissions to all companies operating within oil,
gas, renewable and alternate energy, and utilities
value chain.

WHY SUBMIT ABSTRACTS?

Present your ideas to a global community
The Technical Conference offers a fantastic opportunity for speakers to present
their research findings and best practices to a global audience. Technical
Conference speakers will also gain tremendous exposure through extensive
conference marketing and promotion before, during and after the event.

Validate ideas and gather feedback

Meet your colleagues and peers from across the world, validate ideas and gather
feedback on your research during the Q&A session and networking breaks.
Submitted abstracts undergo a thorough two-stage review process by the
Technical Committee composed of senior industry leaders.

Raise your organisation’s profile

Presenting your firm’s pioneering technology in front of an international audience
of industry colleagues and peers is a golden chance to access your target audience
and get your brand message out in a compelling manner.

Unrivalled opportunity to network with industry

As a distinguished technical speaker, you will have an opportunity to network,
interact face-to-face and discuss how you might work together in the future with
key project owners and decision-makers from the entire energy value chain
