This event is held as part of the ADIPEC CEO Summit and will be attended by conference delegates, EI members and their guests, and other local dignitaries. The launch of this new branch reflects the importance of activity in the energy industry in the whole of the Middle East, as well as the EI’s growing membership in the region.
