Silbat gratefully accepted the prestigious invitation to join Baker Hughes’ highly anticipated 2024 Annual Meeting held in the picturesque city of Florence. This exclusive event brought together over 2,000 esteemed guests, including prominent customers, investors, partners, media representatives, and influential industry leaders. The event took place from January 28th to 30th, 2024 at the magnificent Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, accompanied by an impressive Exhibition held at the adjacent Stazione Leopolda.

Embracing the theme of “Energizing Change,” the 2024 Annual Meeting aimed to address the ever-evolving landscape of industry paradigms by embracing transformative technologies, fostering a culture of innovation, and promoting inclusivity. In his captivating opening keynote, Lorenzo Simonelli, the Chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes, emphasized the paramount importance of sustainable energy development. He underscored how a sustainability-focused approach not only tackles the energy trilemma—ensuring security, sustainability, and affordability—but also drives efficiency by repurposing and reusing existing assets, thus promoting a circular economy. This forward-thinking mindset seeks to strike a delicate balance between present needs and the imperatives of the future.
