As the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) is planning to host the 7th edition of its annual flagship conference, Sub-Saharan Africa International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC) taking place from 14 – 16 February 2023, the Association has rolled out the 2023 conference features featuring B2B opportunities.
The SAIPEC 2023 features continue to place its emphasis on the future of the energy, oil, and gas industry in Sub-Saharan Africa with local content and regional collaboration at the forefront of its objective.
According to PETAN, SAIPEC is a pragmatic platform for international collaborations, which has aided the delivery of greater insight and intelligence on strategies to power the African market for the future using the African Continental Free Trade Area AfCFTA Agreement to bring together regional capabilities.
Speaking further, Mr. Chinedu Maduakoh, PETAN’s Conference Chairman said, “Industry stakeholders should expect richer insights from our experienced national, regional and international industry leaders and partners at SAIPEC 2023. We also have special features unique to SAIPEC every year which I’ll be highlighting.
“Asides from the topical debates and business, technical and special focus sessions, SAIPEC 2023 will have the African Content Series, which addresses the successful implementation of Local Content and opportunities across a series of discussions with Heads of NOCs, IOCs, and independent and indigenous oil and gas companies.
“SAIPEC’s Women in the Industry segment provides a unique platform for some of the brightest minds in the industry to develop knowledge of how men and women can become a stronger force within the industry and put forward solutions towards building a diverse and inclusive future workforce for the sector.
“We have the SAIPEC Prospecting Series, which provides an unrivaled opportunity for prospecting NOCs and government companies to showcase the latest blocks on offer from throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
“Last but not least, the SAIPEC Awards unite and rewards the industry’s most prominent, market-leading, and innovative companies throughout the value chain together to celebrate Sub-Saharan Africa’s developments and achievements.
“We shall also be unveiling more exciting segments of the program over time to give all participants a richer package going forward.
“With our expanding partnerships within the regional and international governments and industry players, we are expecting about 4000 participants from over 50 countries, and a record number of exhibitors that span various companies specialized in services across the oil and gas value chain at SAIPEC 2023”.
