The importance of the Conference
In 2016 the Regional Association of Oil, Gas and Biofuels Companies in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARPEL) and Y-TEC, organized in Argentina a high-level multi-stakeholder encounter to discuss how innovative and technological solutions may represent a fundamental cornerstone to sustain competitive advantages in a challenging context urging to provide cheaper, safer and cleaner energy.
The Argentina meeting recognized that ARPEL was in an excellent position to take the lead in promoting cooperation in Latin America and the Caribbean through an innovation & technology virtual platform, gathering all the stakeholders: operators (end users), technology providers, universities, R & D centers and start-up’s as well as professional associations and government agencies (local or international).
