OMC 2025: a reference point for energy in the Mediterranean
Since 1993, OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition has been a key moment for professionals, companies and institutions from the energy world to meet. The 2025 edition, held in Ravenna from 8 to 10 April, reinforced the event’s central role in a constantly evolving scenario, where innovation and cooperation are the key levers for facing the global challenges of the energy transition.
With over 400 exhibitors from 27 countries and an exhibition area of 20,000 sqm, OMC 2025 offered three days of exchange, updating and inspiration. Conferences, panel discussions and technical sessions will give voice to the major themes of sustainability, energy security and new technologies. In an international context but rooted in the territory, Ravenna has once again become the protagonist of the debate on the future of energy, welcoming experts, decision makers and young talents to an event that aims to generate shared visions and concrete solutions.
An increasingly strategic event for energy transition
In recent years, OMC has evolved from an event focused on traditional Oil & Gas to an integrated platform embracing the entire spectrum of energy sources. The 2025 edition confirms this transformation, serving as a meeting point between established technologies, emerging innovations and strategies for a sustainable energy transition.
The conference focused on crucial topics such as decarbonisation, energy security and infrastructure evolution. In a global context characterised by geopolitical instability and climate change, the role of OMC becomes even more relevant to stimulate dialogue between institutions, business and academia. The confrontation between stakeholders from across the Mediterranean region allows common challenges to be tackled jointly, promoting innovative and shared solutions.
Ravenna, a city that is a symbol for the Italian energy industry, once again hosted an event capable of orienting the sector’s policies. The goal is not only to reduce the environmental impact of industrial activities, but also to guarantee a safe, accessible and lasting energy supply. Against this backdrop, OMC 2025 aims to be an accelerator of new synergies, a catalyst for investment and an incubator for green technologies.
The energy of the future requires vision, pragmatism and cooperation. OMC offers the ideal framework to transform these elements into concrete projects, capable of contributing to a more sustainable energy balance for the entire Mediterranean basin.
The OMC 2025 conference: vision and content at a high level
The beating heart of OMC 2025 was the international conference, articulated in institutional plenaries, panels with top managers from the energy sector, and highly relevant technical sessions. A rich programme designed to offer a 360-degree view of the main drivers of the energy transition, from decarbonisation to new technologies for energy production and distribution.
The integration of renewable sources and conventional systems, the role of hydrogen and CO₂ capture, as well as the challenges related to digitalisation and infrastructure resilience were among the topics at the heart of the debate. The conference was a unique opportunity to hear speeches from representatives of institutions, major energy companies and the world of research, in a context that enhances the exchange of expertise and strategic vision.
Francesca Zarri, Chair of the conference and Director of Italian Upstream Activities at Eni, emphasized that the Mediterranean represents the ideal context for building new sustainable energy models. For this reason, the conference aims to be a meeting point between the North and South of the region, fostering a dialogue based on cooperation and the sharing of common goals.
Participating in the OMC 2025 conference meant gaining access to high-level content and actively contributing to the definition of future energy strategies. An unmissable event for those who wish to position themselves at the heart of change.
OMC 2025: an international platform for new synergies in the Mediterranean
OMC 2025 reaffirmed its role as a strategic platform for dialogue and cooperation among the countries bordering the Mediterranean. The event has always been a concrete opportunity to build new international synergies, essential for addressing the challenges of the energy transition through a shared and multilateral approach.
The Mediterranean basin includes a wide variety of realities with different needs, yet united by the common goal of ensuring energy security, sustainability, and equitable access to resources. In this context, OMC becomes the ideal venue for promoting alliances among institutions, companies, and scientific communities, enhancing the potential of each territory through collaboration.
Thanks to the presence of stakeholders from Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, the event creates a bridge between North and South, enabling the development of concrete projects, technology transfers, and long-term investments. The conference sessions and B2B meetings foster direct and targeted exchanges, capable of generating real opportunities for growth within the energy sector.
The Mediterranean has the potential to become an advanced laboratory for developing sustainable energy models that can be replicated elsewhere. OMC 2025 aims to strengthen this role, offering a solid, authoritative, and forward-looking international platform. Taking part means becoming part of a dynamic network, ready to turn global challenges into shared opportunities across the entire region.
Why OMC 2025 marked a turning point
The 2025 edition of OMC Med Energy Conference & Exhibition was much more than just a trade event: it established itself as a true catalyst for ideas, solutions, and strategic collaborations.
At a crucial time for the energy sector, OMC managed to offer a concrete vision of the transition by connecting technological innovation, sustainability, and international cooperation. With the Mediterranean at the center of the discussions, the region emerged as a key area for testing new energy models and building alliances between the Global North and South.
The success of the event is reflected in the quality of the content delivered, the strong participation of global stakeholders, and the impact generated in terms of networking, investments, and future outlook. OMC 2025 succeeded in combining strategic reflection with tangible action, marking a turning point in how the sector addresses the challenge of the energy transition.
