See you all in London in 2023! I am excited to launch the next EAGE Digital Conference, where the theme will be “Technology Driving Innovation for the Future”.
Digitalization continues to be a key topic for our O&G community, with an ever-growing pace of delivery and still attracting significant investment, old and new talent. We see new companies being formed by leveraging digital technologies and new ways of working to disrupt our legacy workflows, and also see the community coming together to solve common problems together (like in the OSDU forum). Current market forces and volatility bring higher uncertainty into our industry, accentuating the need for new approaches and better results faster.
In 2023 we will continue the EAGE journey in this space. Following from Vienna in 2022 where we focused in the leadership aspects needed to enable digitalization and its impact on our business, in 2023 we will take a look at digitalization as a key enabler to Innovation and to the industry transformation needed through the Energy Transition.
Great disruptive ideas, at the core of every key industry innovation, are usually made of several smaller good ideas that came together. Your participation in the conference is a critical step in furthering the discussion and generating insights on how our community will continue to innovate and thrive in the future.
