ADIPEC 2025: Mobilising capital to transform the energy sector

At ADIPEC 2025, discussions will focus on how inclusive investment and cross-sector collaboration can build resilient energy systems and accelerate global progress

Under the theme ‘Energy. Intelligence. Impact.’, ADIPEC 2025 will highlight how finance is building resilience in today’s energy systems and scaling the intelligent solutions needed for secure, sustainable and future-ready energy systems.

In a world reshaped by market volatility and shifting policy priorities, energy security, affordability and sustainability have re-emerged as core considerations in investment decision-making. The Finance & Investment programme within the ADIPEC Strategic Conference will bring together financial institutions, investors, policymakers and industry leaders to explore how capital can be deployed to strengthen today’s systems while scaling the low-carbon and digital infrastructure of tomorrow.

Reflecting ADIPEC’s global perspective, the programme will examine how investment can be channelled toward emerging economies, where rapid industrialisation, demographic growth and rising digital demand are redefining the global opportunity map. Sessions will also explore how collaboration between developed and developing markets can close capital gaps, de-risk frontier projects and enable inclusive growth across the Global South.

Leading energy finance experts confirmed to speak at ADIPEC include His Excellency Yerlan Akkenzhenov, Minister of Energy, Kazakhstan; Her Excellency Jimena Latorre, Minister of Energy & Environment for the Province of Mendoza, Argentina; Olubukola Arowolo Verheijen, Special Adviser on Energy to the President of Nigeria, along with finance and investment leaders from ADNOC Drilling, Bank of America, Carlyle, OMV, NNPC, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered, Masdar and Abu Dhabi Investment Office.

Mazin Khan, CFO, Masdar, said: “Masdar is one of the most globally diversified renewable energy companies in the world today, but our success story began here in Abu Dhabi. ADIPEC provides a unique platform to engage energy leaders, investors, and innovators, and to share how we have transformed into an industrial clean energy developer with engines for growth across major markets in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.”

Tristan Attenborough, MD, Global Head of Natural Resources Group and Head of Global Advisory, J.P. Morgan Payments, said: “ADIPEC provides a unique environment where financial leaders, energy innovators, and policymakers converge to share insights. This cross-sector collaboration supports our goal of enabling next-level treasury and mobilising capital across all channels that helps drive scalable, low-carbon energy solutions while balancing risk and long-term value creation and is essential for accelerating the global energy transition.”

Christopher Hudson, president of dmg events, added,“The future of energy will be shaped by those who mobilise the finance behind it – and ADIPEC 2025 is where that journey comes to life. Whether it’s innovative finance mechanisms, carbon markets or infrastructure investment, we’re creating the platform for investors and industry leaders to move from dialogue to delivery. Last year’s US$10bn in deals proved that ADIPEC is where energy transactions get done – and this year, we’re building on that momentum.”
