For 30 years, we’ve partnered with large-scale energy organizations to lead the industry in digital transformation across the supply chain–from generation production and distribution to trading, supply and retail.

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.
