Kent will be attending EIC Connect UAE as a Conference Sponsor, joining industry leaders to explore the opportunities, technologies and delivery priorities shaping the energy sector across the UAE and wider region.

As part of the conference programme, Patrick Shearer, Kent's Senior Vice President – Supply Chain, will present a dedicated data centre session exploring the importance of strategic procurement and effective management of long-lead equipment in delivering increasingly complex digital infrastructure. Drawing on Kent's global procurement expertise and the specialist capability of Kent Data Centres, Patrick will discuss how early supply chain engagement, market intelligence and integrated engineering and procurement can help improve schedule certainty and reduce delivery risk as data centre developments continue to grow in scale and power demand.

Robbie Gaule, Vice President for Business Development will also feature at the event in the panel "The View from the Ground: What Are We Seeing as We Enter 2027?", exploring how the industry can maximise emerging opportunities into next year and beyond.
