Middle East Petrochemical
Conference
4th - 5th November 2008, Intercontinental Dubai Festival City, Dubai
The Middle East's petrochemicals industry has forged ahead into a position of global leadership building upon its natural feedstock riches and attracting the participation of international industry leaders.
A demand-led fly up in global raw material and energy prices has further benefited the region, increasing the competitive advantage of the petrochemical asset base and providing the necessary liquidity for further investment.
With energy prices at historic highs and western markets teetering on the brink of recession, the path ahead is uncertain. This conference – jointly hosted by Nexant and ICIS - will provide the insight you need to navigate your way through the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the region.
In order to sustain the growth and success of the past decade, the region’s investors must look to new business models, new markets and changing feedstocks. Questions persist over the capacity of the international markets to consume the industry's output, over the future sources of advantaged gas, and of the region's ability to be truly competitive in more differentiated product areas. These challenges, when set against an overheated construction sector raise questions over whether the industry is structured for further success.
We have brought together an unrivalled panel of experts to share their experience and knowledge on these topics. The event will also provide an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues from both within and outside the Middle East.
