Shell Egypt will take part in EGYPES 2026 with a single, integrated presence that brings together its full energy portfolio, from LNG and upstream development to downstream innovation and social investment.
As the industry gathers at a time of shifting market dynamics and growing demand for reliable energy, Shell’s participation will focus on how integrated energy systems are being deployed in practice across markets like Egypt.
Taking place under the auspices of H.E. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, EGYPES 2026 provides a platform for Shell to engage on the role of gas, evolving LNG markets, emissions management, and the operational decisions shaping the next phase of the energy transition.
Speaking ahead of the event, Dalia Elgabry, Vice President and Country Chair of Shell Egypt, said: “Egypt sits at the intersection of regional supply, infrastructure, and growing demand, which makes it a critical energy market.
Our participation at EGYPES reflects how we operate in Egypt, bringing together our capabilities across the value chain and working closely with partners to deliver energy solutions that are reliable, efficient, and aligned with long-term priorities.”
Shell executives will contribute to a series of strategic discussions across the conference.
Cederic Cremers, President for Integrated Gas at Shell, will address the global LNG supply and demand outlook, examining how markets are adapting to geopolitical shifts, changing contracting structures, and continued demand growth.
LNG remains a central part of this discussion, given its role in supporting grid stability, enabling industrial growth, and balancing renewable energy systems as demand expands over the coming decades.
Joris Grimbergen Vice President for Development and Subsurface LNG and CCS at Shell, will take part in a session focused on carbon and methane, looking at how companies are implementing measurable emissions reductions through technology, operational efficiency, and collaboration across the value chain.
Haytham Yehia, Cluster General Manager for Shell Middle East, Egypt and Central Asia, will join a strategic conference session on how energy systems are evolving in response to changing customer needs, infrastructure requirements, and supply dynamics, while Omneya Abdellatif, Managing Counsel and Head of Legal at Shell Egypt, will contribute to discussions on upstream M&A, addressing how companies are navigating investment decisions in a market defined by volatility, capital discipline, and long-term value creation.
Alongside its participation in the strategic conference, Shell Egypt will host the Youth Impact Ceremony on the third day of EGYPES in collaboration with the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
The ceremony brings together three of Shell’s flagship programmes, each focused on a different stage of the talent and innovation pipeline.
The NXplorers programme will announce the winners of its national competition held during EGYPES, showcasing student-led solutions that apply systems thinking to energy and sustainability challenges.
Intilaaqah Egypt will present the winners of its pitch day, highlighting startups that are building scalable businesses across sectors linked to energy, technology, and sustainability.
The ceremony will also recognize Egyptian university teams that participated in this year’s global Shell Eco-marathon competition in Doha, reflecting the growing technical capabilities of young engineers in Egypt.
This moment within EGYPES reflects a broader focus on capability building alongside energy delivery, with programmes designed to support entrepreneurship, develop technical skills, and connect young talent to real industry challenges.
Throughout the event, Shell’s presence will extend beyond the conference agenda through a unified booth that showcases its integrated operations and partnerships in Egypt.
This includes its work across exploration and production, LNG, downstream activities, and technology-driven solutions that improve efficiency and performance across the energy system.
With a long-standing presence in Egypt, Shell continues to work closely with national partners to support the country’s position as a regional energy hub.
EGYPES 2026 offers a platform to deepen that engagement, bringing together global expertise and local execution across both the energy system and the people shaping its future.
