An
update of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) industrial gas markets will
be given at gasworld’s MENA Industrial Gas Conference, taking place in Dubai from 7th-9th December, 2015.
The MENA region is
attracting increased interest and investment in the core industrial sectors.
Coupled with other investments in metals, glass and petrochemicals, the
projected commercial gases market in the region is predicted to reach a value
of $4.5bn by 2020, in a high-growth scenario (gasworld Business
Intelligence).
2015 has already
seen a portfolio of industrial gas activity unfold in the Middle East. In June,
Air Liquide announced the start-up of its global-scale hydrogen production site
in Yanbu Industrial City, on the west coast of Saudi Arabia. This investment of
more than €350m represents both the largest industrial investment and largest
‘over-the-fence’ hydrogen contract of the group to date. In addition, April
this year saw the joint venture between Air Products and ACWA Holdings
commission construction of the world’s largest industrial gas complex, seeing a
further investment of $2.1bn in Saudi Arabia.
With such a hive
of activity in the region, what better time for gasworld to return to this land of plenty for its much
anticipated MENA Industrial Gas Conference?
The two-day event
titled ‘Today’s Vision, Tomorrow’s Reality’, will give delegates the opportunity to
hear updates on the economic prospects within the region, an update on safety
measures as well as the supply chain and the merchant gases market in the MENA
region. Alongside a promising programme of speakers including Tom Blades of The
Linde Group and Richard Boocock of Air Products, who will be informing and
enlightening attendees on a variety of hot topics, gasworld’s Founder and CEO John Raquet will be providing
insight into the MENA merchant gases markets and the growth potential for the
future.
Delegates are
invited to participate in three days of dynamic activity, including a
cutting-edge conference featuring prestigious speakers, dedicated exhibition
time, and valuable networking opportunities.
With
less than two weeks remaining until the event, time is running out to secure
your place!
