Gastech Testimonials

Since the global stakeholders in energy business gather here every year, we always come here, as well as other locations where a Gastech event is held, to be able to communicate, update, respective business activities, update strategies and future prospects, so that we can consider new collaboration, business opportunities."

Izumi Kai

CEO

Jera Asia

I've been attending Gastech for a number of years. It's a great event that brings together the community and ecosystem that really evolves gas going forward. We know that gas is central, not just as a transition, but as a destination fuel. And this gathering allows us to talk about the future, what's needed between operators, between technology providers, and the ecosystem that surrounds gas, and being able to provide the energy that the world needs."

Lorenzo Simonelli

Chairman, President & CEO

Baker Hughes

Gastech is the premier annual gathering of the global natural gas and LNG industry, and an invaluable opportunity to share knowledge and have critical conversations about the energy transition. Energy systems around the world are in a great state of flux and the essential role of gas is one of the few certainties that we have. The beauty of Gastech lies in the gathering of so many diverse stakeholders in one place, creating a unique environment in which to collaborate on energy solutions that address both opportunities and challenges.”

Admir Sahmanovic

Gastech is one of the gas industry’s most important events of the year and offers a fantastic opportunity to discuss the key issues of the day, including energy security, decarbonisation and the energy transition.
