Shell Egypt announced yesterday that it will participate as a Partner in the Egypt Energy Show (EGYPES 2024) from February 19-21, under the patronage of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek El-Molla.
The event is one of the region’s leading energy conferences and exhibitions. Shell Egypt will leverage it to engage with public and private sector stakeholders to accelerate Egypt’s transformation into a regional energy hub.
Several senior Shell representatives will speak at EGYPES, including Eugene Okpere, Shell Executive Vice President for Exploration, Strategy & Portfolio, who will speak at the panel titled “The energy trilemma and the continued importance of fossil fuels” at the Strategic Conference.
Moreover, Dalia El Gabry, Vice President and Country Chair of Shell Egypt, will participate in a panel discussion titled “The Evolution of Natural Gas & LNG” on the event’s second day. El Gabry will highlight Shell’s commitment to addressing the growing need for affordable and reliable energy, as gas currently meets a quarter of the world’s energy needs and serves both energy security and the transition to lower carbon emission solutions.
On her part, Wafaa El Ashry, Shell Egypt’s HR Manager, will participate in a panel discussion on “Millennials and Gen Z Perspectives on Careers in Energy” on February 21, emphasizing the importance of talent management and retention of these groups across the sector.
In the social investment arena, more than 60 young men and women from the Shell NXplorers program will present solutions addressing energy sustainability, using NXplorers’ complex thinking methodologies, tools, and creative problem-solving skills through a student competition.
The results of the competition will be announced during EGYPES 2024. Their solutions will lie at the intersection of technology and engineering, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Egypt Vision 2030 towards a more sustainable future.
Through its joint ventures, Shell Egypt has also been shortlisted in two categories of the EGYPES Sustainability in Energy Awards. With nine curated categories, the EGYPES Awards aim to highlight solutions to challenges faced by the energy industry while championing energy security and the transition to a lower carbon future.
Judged by a panel of global experts in decarbonization, technology, sustainability, and climate change, EGYPES Awards winners will be unveiled at an exclusive ceremony as part of EGYPES’ Sustainability in Energy Conference.
Shell Egypt looks forward to actively engaging with industry leaders and stakeholders through EGYPES 2024, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on shaping the future of Egypt and the region’s energy landscape.
