The 2024 edition of ME-TECH will take place this coming May in Dubai. Firmly established as a Premier Technical Downstream event in the Middle East, our objective remains unchanged; to help connect the refining & petrochemical community to address, exchange and identify solutions to the pressing challenges being faced by the downstream industry sector.

The energy sector finds itself at an interesting crossroads - there is no shying away from the transition and our decarbonisation objectives but at the same time there is also the continued need for the traditional hydrocarbon industry to supply; secure, affordable and low carbon high value products. The downstream industry plays a crucial role in providing, in a responsible manner, the energy demand across the globe.

In the GCC region, refiners are looking to expand with further integration with petrochemicals - meaning better optimisation, more efficient operations, with wider range of products - all taking into account new quality constraints, the energy transition and long-term sustainability.

The 14th edition of ME-TECH will have a highly informative format with content tailored by our expert downstream consultants and our esteemed Advisory Committee - addressing key industry challenges and presenting the latest technologies, case studies and best practices to help the region's refiners & petrochemicals producers to adapt to new market and industry realities.
