ADIPEC (Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference) is one of the world's largest energy fairs. The fair, taking place November 2–5, 2026 at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi, is expected to host 30 country pavilions, over 2,250 exhibitors, and more than 239,000 visitors. The theme for 2026 has been set as 'Energy. Intelligence. Impact.'
Areas Covered by ADIPEC
The fair covers oil and gas equipment, pipelines and infrastructure, subsea systems, refining and petrochemicals, renewable energy, hydrogen and clean energy technologies, and energy digitalization. Clean energy and hydrogen will be particularly prominent in 2026 as the Gulf region accelerates its energy transition.
Opportunities for Turkey
Turkey hosts companies with international competitiveness in energy infrastructure, pipeline equipment, electrical systems, and engineering services. As the UAE and Saudi Arabia accelerate their renewable energy investments, significant opportunities are emerging for Turkish engineering and equipment companies. ADIPEC is the most effective way to directly access these opportunities.
Practical Information for Abu Dhabi
Direct flights from Istanbul to Abu Dhabi take approximately 4 hours. Turkish citizens can enter Abu Dhabi visa-free (30 days). The ADNEC venue is close to the city center and easily accessible by taxi. November is the most comfortable period for Abu Dhabi; temperatures are around 25–30°C. Hotel prices may rise during fair week — we recommend booking 3–4 months in advance.
