Navigating the Future of Offshore Energy at OEEG 2025 in Shanghai
Set against the bustling backdrop of Shanghai, the Offshore Energy & Equipment Global Exhibition (OEEG 2025) is primed to become a defining moment for the global offshore energy sector. Running from 15 to 17 October 2025 at the Shanghai Convention & Exhibition Center of International Sourcing, this flagship event is more than just a showcase. It’s a strategic launchpad for innovation, collaboration, and transformation across the offshore ecosystem.
Hosted by the Shanghai Association of Shipbuilding Industry (SASIC) and CDMC, the event is expected to draw over 5,000 international procurement professionals, more than 200 pioneering offshore equipment companies, and a distinguished line-up of 300+ global industry experts. Themed around “Reconstructing the Offshore Industry Ecosystem from a Global Perspective,” OEEG 2025 isn’t simply reacting to industrial change — it’s actively steering it.
OEEG 2025’s intellectual engine is fuelled by three concurrent summits, each designed to address urgent challenges and unlock new market opportunities across offshore energy segments.
Floating Production’s Next Act
The 12th FPSO & FLNG & FSRU Global Summit (FFG2025) takes centre stage with a powerful theme: “Strive to Innovate, Work Together, and Achieve Win-Win Results Amid Energy Transition.” This summit is tailored for senior players in the floating production systems space, including FPSO contractors, EPCI firms, modular fabricators, and shipyards.
The discussions will explore how high-end floating equipment can evolve to meet new market demands, including decarbonisation, modular scalability, and cost optimisation. With offshore projects becoming increasingly complex, innovation in floating production isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
Offshore Wind Scales New Heights
As governments race to decarbonise and energy firms pivot towards renewables, floating wind has emerged as a game-changer. The 8th Offshore Wind Asia Summit (OWA2025) sets its sights on building a global floating wind ecosystem under the theme: “Globalising Floating Offshore Wind: Shaping a New Ecosystem for Expertise, Innovation, and Strategic Partnerships.”
Heavyweights like RWE, TotalEnergies, SPIC, and Mingyang Smart Energy will take part in shaping this vision, discussing everything from deep-sea platform engineering to grid integration challenges. Floating wind could unlock gigawatts of clean energy, especially for countries with deep coastal waters like Japan, Norway, and South Korea — and Asia is looking to lead the charge.
LNG Carriers on the Rise
The LNG Carriers Global Summit (LNGCG2025) zeroes in on market dynamics for liquefied natural gas (LNG), a vital transitional fuel in global energy strategies. Under the banner “Transoceanic Collaboration, Forward-Looking Connection,” it brings together upstream suppliers, ship designers, and infrastructure developers.
Key topics include:
- New vessel types for cold climate and shallow ports
- Supply chain bottlenecks in emerging markets
- LNG bunkering and dual-fuel propulsion
- Retrofitting and digitalisation of LNG fleets
The summit aims to create a forum for building transoceanic collaboration frameworks, ensuring energy security while supporting clean transition goals.
More Than an Expo
Beyond exhibitions and summits, OEEG 2025 will feature a wide spectrum of satellite events designed to enhance collaboration across academia, research, and industry.
Highlights include:
- Floating Wind University Design Competitions to spotlight young engineering talent
- Industry White Paper Launches offering in-depth analysis and strategic foresight
- Cross-border Tech Forums for sharing best practices in AI, automation, and hybrid propulsion systems
These initiatives are designed to bridge the gap between early-stage innovation and commercial viability, fostering a full-lifecycle value chain from R&D to deployment.
A Smarter Way to Connect
At the heart of OEEG 2025 is a sharp focus on high-quality business matchmaking. With over 65% of attendees occupying mid to senior decision-making roles, organisers have developed a “Trinity” service system combining exhibitions, conferences, and targeted matchmaking.
1-1 VIP Networking Zone
Armed with a 200,000-strong industry database, a dedicated outreach team will pre-arrange over 1,000 VIP networking sessions. Expect face time with influential players from IOCs/NOCs, EPC contractors, shipyards, and module builders.
Global Procurement Matchmaking
More than 200 international procurement reps will share their purchasing requirements in real-time, facilitating 2,000+ targeted business meetings. The focus? Strategic sourcing across deep-sea oil and gas and floating wind platforms, with an eye on scaling supply chains across Southeast Asia, Brazil, West Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
Strategic Ecosystem Development
From closed-door roundtables to technical site visits and curated social events, OEEG 2025 cultivates a platform for forging long-term partnerships, not just one-off deals. These forums will help dismantle technical barriers and forge entry points into global innovation networks.
Unlocking Long-Term Value for Stakeholders
Now in its 12th year, OEEG has matured into a cornerstone of the global offshore sector. Its continued success stems from Shanghai’s strategic location, world-class port infrastructure, and growing role as a hub for global resource allocation.
Exhibitors and delegates stand to gain:
- Insightful trend forecasting and market intelligence
- Access to a global decision-making network
- Direct pathways to investment and cooperation opportunities
In short, OEEG is not just a trade show — it’s a global launchpad for anyone shaping the future of offshore energy.
