Middle East Refining & Petrochemicals Tech Forum5–7 May 2026

Empowering the Future of the Downstream Sector

I'm Interested in ME-TECH 2026

Welcome to ME-TECH

Cemented as the GCC’s premier technical conference for the refining and petrochemical industries, ME-TECH has helped to connect energy leaders for almost two decades - providing a unique platform to address the opportunities and challenges facing the downstream sector.

Unlocking the full potential of today’s assets in the Middle East requires a two-pronged approach-working existing assets harder in the short term while simultaneously transforming them into low-carbon, digitally enabled, and integrated energy–chemical hubs for the long term.

The region already has scale, feedstock, and integration advantages, but deploying the right technologies will determine how much more value can be extracted from existing assets.

As we look at the year ahead, we’re excited to organise the 16th edition of the Middle East Refining & Petrochemicals Tech Forum, and we look forward to welcoming you for three days of informative sessions, interactive panel discussions, expert seminars, and numerous opportunities to network with peers from the Middle East & beyond!

Change, adaptability, and foresight are key for all downstream producers – decisions made today will define the energy landscape of tomorrow.
