Energy transition meets industrial strategy.

Decarbonisation strategy. Saudi PIF entity advisory. Petrochemicals market entry. Industrial market entry into Eastern Europe. We've done the interviews, the TEV work, and the market entry – for both private and government-linked players.

Our POV · 2026

Energy & Chemicals in 2026.

The GCC energy sector is in the middle of the most significant capital allocation shift in 30 years. National oil companies and PIF-linked entities are simultaneously optimising oil production and diversifying into renewables, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing. The strategy is clear; the execution is complex.

In India, the chemicals and industrial sector is benefiting from China-plus-one sourcing diversification. New manufacturing zones are attracting FDI, and Indian industrial groups are actively seeking international expansion opportunities – particularly into Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.

Our most notable engagement in this sector: a UAE aluminium refining company entering Eastern Europe, where we ran the market entry execution and achieved 2.3x revenue growth in 12 months. The research behind that mandate – 35+ expert interviews, regulatory mapping, and distribution partner identification – is the model we apply across all industrial mandates.
