KROHNE Middle East Launches Resilient Technology Webinar Programme to Support Regional Economic Growth
Ongoing, year-round programme explores how AI, digitisation, smart connectivity, and efficiency-driven measurement are strengthening critical infrastructure across the Middle East, with bespoke and public sessions available on demand.
DUBAI — KROHNE Middle East today launches its Resilient Technology Webinar Programme, an ongoing, evergreen initiative exploring how artificial intelligence, digitisation, smart connectivity, and efficiency-driven measurement are helping operators across the Gulf safeguard assets, unlock productivity, and accelerate the region’s economic diversification agenda. The programme opens this afternoon with a session on industrial cybersecurity, and will continue throughout the year across a growing roster of themes where KROHNE sees direct customer demand for measurement-led solutions.
The programme reflects a clear shift in how GCC operators are approaching industrial technology investment. Resilience, rather than capacity alone, has become the defining metric across pipelines, power generation, desalination, and the fast-expanding data centre sector. Artificial intelligence, digitisation, and smart connectivity are reshaping what measurement technology delivers, turning the flow meter, level sensor, and pressure transmitter into connected nodes that feed predictive analytics, enable remote diagnostics, and drive the efficiency gains that underpin national economic visions.
Jay Gadhavi, General Manager of KROHNE Middle East, said: “The Middle East is not simply scaling its industrial base. It is re-engineering it around resilience, efficiency, and digital intelligence. AI-enabled analytics, digitisation, and smart connectivity are transforming how operators extract value from every measurement point. This programme is our contribution to that conversation, and it is designed to run throughout the year and evolve with our customers. The themes we cover, and the sessions we host, will reflect where our customers tell us the conversation needs to happen next.”
Themes where customers are asking for solutions
The programme is structured around the themes where KROHNE is seeing the most active customer engagement, with new sessions added on a rolling basis as regional priorities evolve. Current and upcoming themes include industrial cybersecurity and the OT perimeter, pipeline management, data centre cooling, hydrogen and the emerging clean fuels value chain, efficiency in the marine sector, produced water handling, custody transfer in oil and gas, desalination and water stewardship, process analytics, and the integration of AI and digital twin capability into field instrumentation. Additional themes will be introduced throughout the year in response to customer demand.
Opening and upcoming sessions
Cybersecurity (10.30am Gulf Standard Time today). Examines how measurement devices and field instrumentation sit within the broader OT cybersecurity perimeter, with practical guidance for GCC operators aligning with UAE NESA and Saudi NCA frameworks.
Pipeline Management (12pm GST tomorrow). Explores AI-enabled leak detection, theft prevention, and integrity monitoring across hydrocarbon and water pipeline networks, drawing on KROHNE’s PipePatrol platform, digital twin capability, and regional deployment experience.
Data Centre Cooling (1pm GST tomorrow). Addresses the measurement and efficiency challenges of liquid and hybrid cooling systems as Gulf hyperscale and colocation operators respond to AI-driven thermal loads, ambitious PUE targets, and the growing role of smart connectivity in facility performance management.
Further sessions on hydrogen, efficiency in the marine sector, produced water, and additional customer-led themes will follow in the weeks and months ahead, with dates announced through the KROHNE LinkedIn and newsletter channels.
Public overviews and bespoke sessions
The programme runs in two formats. Public overview webinars, such as the sessions launching this week, are open to industry professionals, regulators, and media representatives across the Middle East and Africa. In parallel, the KROHNE Middle East and Africa team is available to deliver bespoke sessions for individual customers, engineering consultancies, and partner organisations, tailored to specific projects, asset portfolios, or technical challenges. Both formats are delivered by KROHNE specialists working alongside KROHNE Solutions teams in Breda, Duisburg, and Pune, and, where relevant, KROHNE’s strategic partners.
Why this matters for the region
The themes covered through the programme map directly onto the economic priorities set out under UAE Vision, Saudi Vision 2030, Qatar National Vision 2030, and equivalent national agendas across the GCC. From pipeline security and hydrogen exports to the digital infrastructure underpinning the region’s AI ambitions, measurement technology has moved from a supporting role into the strategic core of how resilience is delivered at scale. AI, digitisation, smart connectivity, and efficiency are no longer discrete technology themes. They are converging into the operating logic of the region’s next generation of industrial assets.
The webinar series also reflects KROHNE’s regional footprint and its commitment to long-term customer support and partnership. From its Expo City Dubai headquarters, KROHNE Middle East and Africa provides technical support, application engineering, and lifecycle service to customers across the GCC, the wider Middle East, and Africa, working alongside KROHNE Solutions teams in Breda, Duisburg, and Pune to bring best-in-class project delivery to the region.
Registration and access
Recordings of public sessions will be made available to registered participants. Those interested in attending public overviews, or in arranging a bespoke session for their own team or project, are invited to follow the KROHNE LinkedIn and newsletter channels for programme updates, or to contact the team directly at KMEA.Marketing@krohne.com.
The programme forms part of KROHNE Middle East and Africa’s wider customer support and partnership commitment, designed to keep regional operators close to the engineering expertise, product development, and application knowledge held across the KROHNE Group.
