Commodities Middle East Summit
The global commodities map is undergoing its most significant shift in decades, driven by supply chain reconfiguration, the acceleration of the energy transition, and intense geopolitical volatility. At the very centre of this profound change, the Middle East is rapidly emerging as an influential commodities hub, a critical pivot point between East and West.
Beyond its role as the global oil and gas anchor, the region is now pursuing ambitious national strategies for economic diversification. Strategic investments in infrastructure, advanced logistics, and domestic capacity for metals, mining, and petrochemicals are attracting a rapid influx of global traders, energy companies, financiers, and technology players.
Building upon the success of the flagship conference in Lausanne, Commodities Global Summit, the FT Live Commodities Middle East Summit will bring together senior figures from leading trading houses, sovereign wealth funds, energy and policy to examine how this transformation is taking shape. The programme will explore how regional and global players can manage geopolitical risk, develop resilient supply chains and capture the next phase of growth across energy, metals and agricultural markets.
