More than 250 decision-makers, technical experts and industry partners from across the global energy sector came together at the Wison Technology Seminar 2025, held December 2-4 in Shanghai, an event that showcased the company's leadership in sustainable energy technology and its convening power in the sector. The second annual event addressed a range of topics, including the energy transition, floating wind, green hydrogen, carbon capture and Power-to-X, a set of technologies that convert surplus renewable electricity into products such as synthetic fuels.
This year's seminar was significantly larger in scale, depth and engagement than last year's inaugural event, and attracted a more diverse group of participants. Wison is connecting firms along the energy technology value chain, bringing together companies, technology partners and asset owners to communicate more effectively and spark new ideas.
The seminar featured 56 speakers who gave keynotes and led panel discussions and breakout sessions. Discussions covered policy and regulatory frameworks, the global energy mix, net-zero targets and technological innovation, offering broader perspectives on industry trends and ecosystem building.
During the event, Wison signed strategic agreements with several international partners, including industry leaders ABB, Emerson, Schneider Electric and Inprocess, turning shared views on low-carbon smart technologies and system integration into tangible roadmaps for cooperation.
The agreement with Inprocess, for example, will enhance Wison's digitalization. It includes dynamic simulation, operator training simulation and digital twin technologies, supporting standardized design of floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) and floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, helping to reduce emissions across key offshore assets.
To see firsthand how these concepts become reality, participants visited Wison's Nantong shipyard, northwest of Shanghai, which fabricates FLNG vessels and other floating facilities.
During the event, Damien Nguyen, CTO of Wison New Energies, and Hengwei Liu, CTO of Wison Engineering, emphasized that decarbonization of energy systems is increasingly converging with standardization and digitalization of engineering and construction. This calls for improved technology readiness, strengthened collaboration and de-risking of projects from all partners across the value chain, they said.
This year's seminar was not only a forum for exchanging views, but also a catalyst for discovering real-world use cases, concrete challenges and tangible opportunities for collaboration, they added.
