- The event delivered over US$350 million in economic benefits for the UAE economy in hospitality, tourism, and travel-related business
- ADIPEC 2023 brought together over 2,200 exhibiting companies and 16,500 delegates under the theme of ‘Decarbonising. Faster. Together.’
ABU DHABI, UAE, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ADIPEC 2023 was the most commercially successful edition in the event’s nearly 40-year history, generating US$8.8 billion in business for the global energy industry, as well as delivering over US$350 million in event-related business to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) economy.
ADIPEC 2023, which took place in Abu Dhabi from 2-5 October, under the theme of Decarbonising. Faster. Together., convened global energy leaders and leading voices from across the energy ecosystem to accelerate urgent, collective action and game-changing solutions to decarbonise quicker and future-proof the energy system.
The US$600 million increase in commercial deals, up from the US$8.2bn figure recorded in 2022, reinforces the event as a leading global platform for the energy industry to come together, do business and push the global energy transition agenda forward, towards a cleaner, more secure and sustainable future.
During ADIPEC, ADNOC announced its investment in the Hail and Ghasha offshore development project that aims to operate with net zero carbon dioxide emissions, a first globally. The company also announced the Habshan carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) project, in Abu Dhabi, which will be among the largest carbon capture projects in the Middle East and North Africa region.
Occidental subsidiary, 1PointFive, and ADNOC also signed an agreement to explore the feasibility of a 1 million tonne-per-year direct air capture (DAC) facility in the UAE. In addition, a milestone electric-liquefaction train system was awarded for ADNOC’s Ruwais LNG export terminal, supporting the plant’s clean power processes as one of the lowest carbon intensity LNG facilities in the world.
Meanwhile, OMV and Wood signed an agreement for the commercial licensing of OMV’s ReOil technology, which converts end-of-life plastic waste into pyrolysis oil, a valuable renewable energy resource that replaces conventional fuels while enhancing the circularity of plastics.
Discussing the impact of this year’s event, Tayba Al Hashemi, Chair of ADIPEC 2023 and CEO of ADNOC Offshore, said: “ADIPEC continues to play a critical role in the global energy transition, assembling a broad range of key policymakers and CEOs for extensive and impactful discussions on the future of our global energy system and facilitating meaningful partnerships and deals.
“With the most comprehensive agenda in its nearly 40-year history, ADIPEC 2023 shed new light on the industry’s priorities, focusing on the pressing need to decarbonise across the entire value chain. The event stimulated new thinking and ideas on a diverse set of issues, including the creation of circular economies and innovative methods for achieving carbon neutrality in hard-to-abate sectors and re-energised the industry-wide commitment to creating a truly sustainable energy system.”
As well as being a catalyst for multiple industry deals, ADIPEC 2023 also drove activity across the UAE’s economy, generating over US$350 million worth of economic benefits for the local economy, particularly in the hospitality, tourism, and transport sectors.
In support of the UAE’s goal to diversify its economy, Ahmed Al Zaabi, chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, announced Abu Dhabi would provide 100 investment opportunities with a combined market size of Dh123.3 billion (US$33.5 billion) by 2027 under the ‘Abu Dhabi Channel Partners’ initiative.
Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events, organisers of ADIPEC 2023, said: “ADIPEC 2023 engaged directly with the new priorities of the energy market, bringing together key stakeholders to collaborate around decarbonisation solutions and the development of a secure, profitable and sustainable energy future.
“These efforts not only set the tone for the entire energy industry and its adjacent sectors but also led to significant benefits for both the global and local economy, once more highlighting the central role of cross-sector partnerships and consistent investment in delivering a just, clean and effective energy transition. As we look ahead to 2024, ADIPEC will build upon this year’s success and drive positive change across the energy sector.“
ADIPEC 2023 grew significantly in size and reach, welcoming record participation from NGOs – including Ipieca, Environmental Defense Fund, the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Energy Forum (IEF) – as well as diverse voices from energy-adjacent industries including aviation and other heavy industries, finance and technology.
The event also attracted a record-breaking 184,000-plus attendees from 160 countries and over 2,200 exhibiting companies. The conference programme delivered over 350 sessions, featuring the insights of more than 1,600 speakers – including more than 40 government ministers and 220 C-suite global energy executives – who convened to forge paths to decarbonisation through action-oriented and strategic dialogues.
In the lead up to COP28 in the UAE, ADIPEC 2023 helped set the agenda for the energy industry’s push to decarbonisation and the global energy transition by tackling the core challenges of the energy transition – climate technology, investment, energy security and affordability – and helping align the global energy industry’s efforts to lower emissions while maintaining economic growth.
ADIPEC 2024 will take place in Abu Dhabi on 11-14 November 2024 with a mission to continue to support the global energy transition and collective decarbonisation.

New Platform Integrates With All Phacoemulsification Systems,
Saves Time and Space in the OR
CARLSBAD, Calif., Nov. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Centricity Vision Inc., a global ophthalmic technology company, announced today the commercial launch of its ZEPTOLink IOL Positioning System™ at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Annual Meeting, November 3-6 in San Francisco. The new platform seamlessly integrates the clinically proven ZEPTO precision pulse capsulotomy technology with any phacoemulsification (phaco) system to streamline cataract surgery.
ZEPTO is the first and only device that creates an instantaneous capsulotomy with consistent, 360-degree intraocular lens (IOL) overlap for optimal lens positioning and improved outcomes. Now with the phaco integration, ZEPTOLink is the next evolution helping to drive the future of automated refractive cataract surgery.
As part of a controlled market introduction to 12 existing and new users, more than 500 ZEPTOLink procedures have been performed over the past few months, with surgeons reporting greater speed and workflow efficiency with ZEPTOLink.
“The initial response to ZEPTOLink has been extremely positive. Surgeons like having complete control of the procedure via the phaco foot pedal, which is intuitive for them and resulted in a very time-efficient procedure,” said Centricity Vision President and CEO Rob Thornhill.
ZEPTOLink utilizes suction and irrigation provided by the phaco system and enables surgeons to fully control the ZEPTO handpiece, which provides applanation, suction, energy delivery, and capsule release via the phaco foot pedal. Key features include:
- Seamless integration with any phacoemulsification system
- Small, ergonomic console design with user-friendly touchscreen display
- Efficient setup and priming of the ZEPTOLink handpiece by a single person, all within the sterile field
- Clinically proven ZEPTO technology for precise, consistent, and centered capsulotomies with 360-degree IOL overlap
“Having complete control of the ZEPTOLink procedure with the phaco foot pedal is a game-changer for me,” said Tomy Starck, MD, a long-time ZEPTO user. “With ZEPTOLink, I can meet the demands of a high-volume cataract surgery practice without the high cost and workflow interruption of laser.”
“My goal is to deliver optimal outcomes for my patients while maximizing surgical efficiency. ZEPTOLink is fast, accurate, and consistent, allowing me to provide outstanding results for my premium IOL patients. It has fit seamlessly into our practice alongside our femto platform,” said David Stephens, MD.
Following AAO, Centricity Vision will upgrade existing users of the prior ZEPTO system to ZEPTOLink while also onboarding new accounts.
Precision Pulse Capsulotomy
Creating a well-formed, centered capsulotomy is among the most difficult steps of cataract surgery, and it is essential for effective IOL positioning and stability. By applying 12 micro-pulses of energy in just 4 milliseconds, ZEPTOLink enables surgeons to center the capsulotomy with 360-degree IOL overlap on the patient’s visual axis for improved outcomes.1-4 ZEPTO’s precision pulse capsulotomy (PPC) also preserves the endothelial cells of the cornea as well as continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC or manual capsulorhexis) in cataract surgery.5
About the ZEPTO IOL Positioning System
Designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of cataract surgery, the ZEPTO IOL Positioning System™ is the first and only device that creates an instantaneous capsulotomy for precise, 360-degree IOL overlap and improved outcomes. ZEPTOLink is the next evolution of the technology and is ideal for premium IOLs and complex cases that require enhanced precision. The technology also provides significant cost and time savings with easy workflow integration and increased efficiency per case.
About Centricity Vision Inc.
Based in Carlsbad, California, Centricity Vision is a global ophthalmic technology company and developer of the U.S. and internationally approved ZEPTO IOL Positioning System™. Centricity Vision’s expert team is dedicated to providing advanced surgical solutions to improve long-term visual outcomes and deliver the best vision care to patients.

NEW YORK, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Commercial Observer, the premier media and information services platform connecting and informing commercial real estate leaders, and the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), New York City’s leading real estate trade association, partnered to host the 3rd Annual Future of New York Forum, the real estate industry’s definitive state of the union event led by more than 25 of the City’s most influential public and private sector leaders.
The forum, which sold out to a room of prominent, c-suite business leaders, was held at Tishman Speyer’s Spiral Building in Hudson Yards to underscore the event’s theme of supporting the innovative and world-class destinations that New York City is famous for. After opening with keynote remarks from New York City Deputy Mayor for Economic and Workforce Development, Maria Torres-Springer, the event delved into several forward-thinking discussions around public-private strategies and proposed solutions for New York City safety, enhancement of New York’s Central Business Districts, the housing shortage, office stock and occupancy rates, and attracting high-growth industries and diverse talent.
Observer Media CEO James R. Freiman stated that “Commercial Observer was thrilled to host the event in partnership with REBNY, one of the most respected and influential organizations in the industry, at such a critical time.” Freiman added that “we headed into 2023 with a looming recession and have been continuously met with unforeseen market turbulence since. As we heard from the speakers who are industry leaders in real estate, the focus is to continuously be creative in certain and uncertain times as we charge forward on a clear path that showcases New York’s public and private leaders who are behind the scenes leveraging their ingenuity to strengthen the City’s reputation as an inimitable hub for global innovation.”
“As New York faces significant challenges on the path to full recovery, the real estate industry continues to play a vital role in the City’s economic future,” said REBNY President James Whelan. “Industry leaders know that creative solutions to the City’s challenges will come through public and private sector collaboration on policies to advance our shared goals. It was a pleasure to partner with the Commercial Observer on another successful event that helped to further elevate these important discussions.”
THE FUTURE OF NY FORUM SHOWCASED THE “WE LOVE NYC” CAMPAIGN TO MOBILIZE CIVIC ACTION IN SUPPORTING THE CITY’S POST-PANDEMIC RESURGENCE
Just a week prior to the Forum, the private sector joined forces with city, state, and community and labor leaders to introduce “We Love NYC” – a two-year civic action campaign launched by Mayor Adams, Governor Hochul and the Partnership for NYC. The campaign, aimed at mobilizing New Yorkers to participate in the City’s post-pandemic recovery, including park cleanups, shopping local, and beautification projects, has been making headlines since.
Speaking during the opening session of the Future of New York Forum, Kathryn Wylde, CEO of the Partnership for NYC stated that “it’s important we don’t lose sight of what makes New York the greatest city in the world – New Yorkers.” Adding that “this civic-inspired campaign will allow New Yorkers to play an active role in enhancing the iconic traits of New York City that they love most. We’re calling for a city-wide movement for civic engagement at a scale that New York has never seen before, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the grit and dedication of the ‘doers’ who are making a real and long-lasting impact.”

PropTech firm showcases MRI Agora and new AI-first solutions at Ascend users conference
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — MRI Software, a global leader in real estate solutions, presented its vision for the next generation of its open and connected technology platform, MRI Agora™, at the Ascend users conference in New Orleans on October 23-26. The MRI Agora platform will enable real estate businesses to make better decisions through connected data, automate mundane tasks, and differentiate through technology.
“The new platform is the next generation in the open and connected journey that MRI pioneered years ago for real estate technology,” said Saurabh Abhyankar, Chief Product Officer of MRI Software. “Developed with an AI-first approach, the MRI Agora platform brings a brand-new real estate data platform, engaging user experiences, and connected services.”
In recent years, the real estate sector has accelerated adoption of PropTech solutions, resulting in improvements in operational efficiency, automation, and scalability. Likewise, continued private investment and growth in the industry has significantly increased the number of software applications available. According to Statista, organizations used 110 SaaS applications on average in 2021, up from eight in 2015.
“Every industry eventually matures from using multiple disconnected point solutions to a go-to platform of choice,” continued Abhyankar. “The OS wars ended with MacOS and Windows, the CRM wars ended with Salesforce.com, and the cloud wars ended with Azure and AWS. It’s time for the entire PropTech industry to adopt a platform that is smart, open, and hyper-connected – where technology from any provider, including MRI, our partners, third parties, and even our competitors – can connect together to enable innovation.”
At Ascend, MRI unveiled a number of breakthrough products it will be introducing, including advanced multi-source data analytics platform MRI Agora Insights, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven MRI Forms Intelligence and MRI Chat, and new, more intuitive residential and commercial portals.
The Platform that Powers PropTech™
The MRI Agora platform will offer unprecedented visibility by unifying data from multiple applications and sources across the PropTech ecosystem, ultimately allowing users to perform tasks and access information through a single experience.
MRI demonstrated the following new products at Ascend:
- MRI Agora Insights is a new real estate data platform that allows for advanced analytics across MRI and non-MRI data sources. It can bring together structured and non-structured data, IoT data, and APIs to provide the broad insights needed in today’s competitive landscape. Additionally, for the first time in the industry, the MRI Agora Insights Anywhere analytics offering will deliver insights from any of these sources directly into the applications users use every day. Together, these provide a new benchmark for actionable insights in real estate.
- MRI Forms Intelligence leverages AI to help businesses become more efficient by quickly reading scanned and digital documents such as tax forms and certificates, reducing manual forms processing and data errors.
- MRI Chat enables multifamily teams to accelerate the leasing process through a smart communications platform that uses AI with natural language processing to intelligently answer questions, engage more leads, and qualify more prospects.
- New residential and commercial portals will provide an intuitive experience for multifamily and commercial tenants, offering self-service capabilities that reduce the operational burden on property managers and help landlords drive occupancy in a highly competitive environment.
The MRI Ascend Users Conference for EMEA will take place on December 7 in London. Clients can register for the event here: https://mriusersconference.com/
