Turkmenistan is gaining prominence in the international energy sector, a point underscored by a recent visit from Lorenzo Simonelli, the CEO of the major energy company Baker Hughes. His visit to Ashgabat, following his attendance at the Gastech 2025 conference in Milan, highlights Turkmenistan’s increasing strategic importance.
This momentum is reflected in the strong international interest in the upcoming 30th International Conference and Exhibition “Oil & Gas of Turkmenistan – OGT 2025.”
Growing Participation: For the first time, 30 new companies and over 100 delegates from 15 countries—including China, the UK, USA, and Germany—are confirmed to attend. This shows that the conference is a key entry point for new businesses looking to engage in the region.
Global Reach: The event has already confirmed more than 500 delegates from 45 countries, highlighting its global scale.
New Features: This year’s conference will introduce new speakers and sponsors, as well as an AI-powered business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking platform to help participants connect effectively.
Organizers are encouraging early registration for the conference, as the deadline is October 10, 2025, and high international participation is expected. The event is set to bring together industry leaders and investors to explore new opportunities and strengthen Turkmenistan’s role as a major energy hub.
