ADIPEC 2025

From 3–6 November 2025, Abu Dhabi will once again become the centre of the global energy industry as ADIPEC opens its doors. Managed by the EIC International Trade team for more than two decades, the UK Pavilion has grown alongside the event itself, becoming a hub for showcasing UK expertise, technology and capability.

The 2025 edition marks an exciting milestone, with UK Pavilions spannin 1,600sqm across four halls – 8, 12, 15 and 17. This includes the return of the Scotland Pavilion and the Wales Pavilion in Hall 8, hosting 26 and 12 companies respectively. These regional showcases highlight the depth and diversity of innovation coming from across the energy supply chain in the UK – from digital transformation and clean tech to engineering excellence and advanced manufacturing.

Gateway to Middle East energy projects

The significance of ADIPEC for UK businesses is clear. According to EICDataStream, between 2025 and 2030, more than 983 energy projects worth US$1.36tn are planned across the Middle East, keeping the region firmly in focus for UK exporters. As global energy systems continue to transition, there is growing demand for innovative, sustainable and digital solutions – areas in which the UK excels.
