Now, through the Global EnergyTech Awards, we’re focusing on the disruptors that inspire us to stay relevant as demands change.

At a time when the industry is going through significant change, and the transition to a carbon-zero future is underway, energy companies will increasingly have to partner with innovators like these in order to scale-up the skills and technology required to reach both their own and global net-zero goals. As a recognized leader of new technologies, we are proud to bring the best ideas and talent together, leading the charge in this shift to a cleaner, greener world.
