20th Annual DNV Technology Week

Beyond the energy transition - tools and strategies to transform the energy value chain

The 20th Annual Technology Week will take place in-person from 18-20 October in Houston, Texas


The technical courses and seminars Technology Week is known for cover the latest innovations, technical developments, and regulatory changes  influencing the future of both the Maritime and Oil & Gas industries. Participation in this three-day event provides a unique opportunity to engage with technical experts who will be sharing their in-depth knowledge and experience, as well as the ability to expand your professional network.


The energy economy is in a state of constant evolution as decarbonization demands increase. While this transformation poses risks, the opportunities are greater if we choose to adapt with urgency and a full understanding of the interdependencies of technologies. DNV has set out to bridge the gap between technology and regulation by providing a 360 view of market opportunities, adaptation strategies, and technological advancements and during Technology Week, our experts will share this insight with you.
