My biggest personal takeaway from the session: A lot of things in energy aren’t impossible — they’re a question of will, execution, and economics. Today, we covered everything from building NESR to leadership, energy transition, and scaling in complex markets. What stayed with you most?

I am currently pursuing chemical engineering at the American University of Sharjah. I am passionate about bridging the gap between technology and the energy industry! I'm currently focused on connecting with different types of people in order to grow my knowledge.

It’s encouraging to see this community growing with members from diverse backgrounds and active builders across different fields. I’m looking to connect with people who are building or exploring early-stage ideas, especially those open to collaboration or co-founding opportunities in tech and research products. My focus is on practical, problem-oriented work where ideas can be turned into real systems and solutions. I’m also open to discussions around potential investments and ventures, including family-owned mining sites (gold and copper) in Niger, as well as other opportunities across Niger and Algeria. Open to connecting with builders, operators, or researchers working on meaningful problems. If there’s a real fit, happy to connect 🤝
