2. UN Pre-Conference Dialogue (Energy for Peace & Prosperity). On 21 October, OGT partners with the UN Country Team for “Energy for Peace and Prosperity: Turkmenistan’s Contribution to SDG7 and the Global Energy Transition.” Moderated by the UN Resident Coordinator, the dialogue connects OGT’s commercial agenda with the multilateral lens: energy security, neutrality, connectivity, and the practical steps that align national strategies with SDG 7 – affordable, reliable, sustainable energy for all.
3. Roundtables in Focus (Four Tracks, Two Lenses) A signature innovation this year is a set of four focused roundtables designed for frank, data driven exchange: • Two technical roundtables with SPE – drilling, subsurface, digitalization, methane measurement and reduction, and mature field optimization. • Two strategic roundtables with S&P Global Commodity Insights – supply/demand, price formation, investment signals, and regional cooperation.For experts from Turkmenistan’s national energy companies, the roundtables provide a rare chance to test assumptions with global technical peers and market analysts in a compact, outcomes-oriented format.
4. A More Structured B2B Engine OGT scales up its managed one-to-one meeting program with senior leadership from Turkmen national companies, government institutions, and international partners. The result: clearer pipelines of bilateral meetings, faster diligence cycles, and a higher probability that hallway conversations become term sheets.
5. Two Fireside Chats that De-Risk the Money Questions This edition adds two targeted fireside chats to unpack the financing calculus behind projects: • Investor Perspective – how international investors evaluate execution risk, timelines, and strategic alignment. • Financing Clean Energy – Opportunities, Risks & Requirements – capital structures, political risk, offtake, disclosure, and ESG metrics. These sessions thread directly into the program’s finance and policy arc, providing a forum to interrogate cost of capital, bankability, and compliance in finer detail.
