The UAE's young people are set to play important roles at Abu Dhabi National Oil Company as it future-proofs its business, Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and managing director and group chief executive of Adnoc, has said.

Adnoc is committed to continually investing and developing youths, who are the "bedrock" of the UAE’s future and are encouraged to multiply their efforts from "10X to 100X", state news agency Wam reported Dr Al Jaber as saying, referring to the theme of Adnoc's Youth Ramadan Forum, report agencies.

"We are proud that many of our youths are leading key projects and strategic initiatives across our business, and actively contributing to ensuring Adnoc remains a reliable supplier of energy to the world."

Dr Al Jaber said that growth, disruption and future-proofing are three key imperatives that will guide the company’s strategy as it navigates the transition of the energy sector and unpredictable market volatility.
