Muscat, Oman - HydITEx Corporation is proud to share the official outcomes of its highly successful participation in the international energy forum, Oman Petroleum & Energy Show (OPES) 2026. Throughout the exhibition, the HydITEx booth (Hall 2, Booth 2361) served as a major hub of business activity, bringing together prominent experts, investors, as well as representatives from key ministries and government agencies across the Middle East.
Led by Founder and CEO Georgii Feodoridi, the HydITEx delegation presented a comprehensive matrix of solutions demonstrating the deep integration of clean energy, government consulting, industrial biotechnology, and Industry 5.0 principles:
Macroconsulting for International Standards Integration: Strong interest from government regulatory bodies was drawn to HydITEx’s unique macroconsulting service designed for the systemic integration of advanced standards into national frameworks. Integrating cross-cutting certification systems-including explosion-proof equipment (IECEx) and electronic component quality assessment (IECQ)-at the state level acts as a powerful lever for economic growth. It dramatically reduces internal technical costs, eliminates barriers to exporting products to global markets, and optimizes public spending on critical infrastructure.
Hydrogen Ecosystem and Bioprotein Innovations: As part of its environmental and sustainability agenda, HydITEx demonstrated advanced solutions in the extraction and generation of three key types of hydrogen: white, gold, and green. Working in synergy with hydrogen technologies, the company showcased its flagship platform, HydITEx Biotech-scalable solutions for high-quality bioprotein production from associated petroleum gas. This innovative approach enables the efficient utilization of methane (CH4), reducing flaring volumes and the carbon footprint of oil and gas enterprises while simultaneously addressing strategic global food and biological security challenges.
Industry 5.0 Engineering Services for Technology Development (ExTech): A special emphasis was placed on HydITEx's scientific and engineering services for the design and development of customized explosion protection technologies for complex industrial environments. Guided by the Industry 5.0 paradigm-which prioritizes the synergy between human intelligence, robotics, and environmental sustainability-the company provides high-tech services to engineer unique solutions in strict compliance with rigorous international IEC regulations, ensuring the flexibility and absolute safety of critical production processes.
"OPES 2026 clearly demonstrated that today's industrial sector and government institutions demand large-scale, systemic solutions. Our macroconsulting service for integrating IECEx and IECQ standards into national structures, combined with our Industry 5.0 Ex-technology development services and bioprotein synthesis from associated gas, offers a direct lever to elevate both efficiency and safety across the region's economy," noted Georgii Feodoridi.
The conclusion of an intense and highly productive exhibition marathon in Muscat coincided with the arrival of the bright and joyous holiday of Eid Al-Adha. HydITEx Corporation extends its most heartfelt congratulations to the people of the Sultanate of Oman and to everyone celebrating this special day around the world!
We sincerely wish you, your families, and your loved ones peace, good health, warmth, and prosperity. May this blessed occasion fill every home with harmony and joy, and may all your creative endeavors, business initiatives, and state-level projects meet with grand success.
Expressions of Sincere Gratitude:
We express our deepest gratitude to all ministerial delegations, partners, and guests who visited our booth for a vibrant and inspiring engineering dialogue.
Special thanks go to the team at our Middle East Desk (HydITEx) subdivision. Your dedicated work on the exhibition floor ahead of the holiday, outstanding expertise, and flawless coordination secured a well-deserved international triumph for our technological framework. We wish our Middle East Desk team a wonderful holiday season and a joyful, well-earned rest with their loved ones!
Eid Al-Adha Mubarak!

HydITEx Corporation has successfully concluded its high-level participation at the Innovation Zero 2026 congress in London. The event served as the official global debut of our expanded mandate as a Global Strategic Integrator and DeepTech Scouter, reinforcing our role in de-risking the transition to Industry 5.0.
During the summit, the HydITEx executive team engaged in strategic dialogues that revealed critical shifts in the global energy and biotech markets:
Bridging the Geological Hydrogen Awareness Gap: We conducted highly productive negotiations with Tier-1 traditional Oil & Gas majors. These discussions identified a significant intelligence gap regarding Geological (White) Hydrogen. HydITEx is now uniquely positioned to guide these energy giants—empowering them to scout, evaluate, and safely integrate this limitless, zero-carbon resource into their legacy infrastructures.
Scaling Bioprotein & Carbon Sequestration: Our focus on Society 5.0 attracted strong interest from pioneering biotech developers. These interactions validated the HydITEx Execution Model: acting as the essential bridge between breakthrough laboratory science and safe, explosion-proof (ExTech) industrial scaling.
Innovation Zero 2026: HydITEx at the epicenter of the UK's largest net-zero congress, architecting the future of global industrial safety and Industry 5.0 integration.
Strategic Insights: Monitoring critical shifts in global energy policy and carbon sequestration. Our mission is to fundamentally de-risk investments through superior ExTech integration.
Execution in Action: High-level negotiations at Booth B42. Bridging the critical gap between laboratory DeepTech and safe, explosion-proof industrial scaling for Energy and Biotech majors.
Harrogate, UK – HydITEx attended the prestigious Hazardex Live 2026 conference and exhibition in Harrogate as a delegate.
As a company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of safety in explosive atmospheres, our attendance at Hazardex Live 2026 was a strategic opportunity to engage with the world’s leading experts in hazardous area operations and process safety.
The event provided an invaluable platform to discuss the evolving landscape of IECEx, ATEX and UKEx standards, with a particular focus on the challenges and opportunities presented by the global energy transition. Key sessions highlighted the importance of robust safety protocols in hydrogen infrastructure - a core area of expertise for HydITEx.
Key Highlights from the Event:
Industry Insights: Engaging in deep-dive sessions on the impact of digitalization and Industry 5.0 on safety management in high-risk environments.
Networking: Connecting with international regulators, safety professionals, and technology innovators to share best practices.
Future Readiness: Evaluating new methodologies for risk assessment in hydrogen storage.
Hazardex Live is the original high hazard industry event for process safety professionals concerned with protecting Personnel, Process & Plant. Widely recognised as the most important global event specific to hazardous area operations across all major industries, Hazardex Live brings together the process safety community on an annual basis to review current or forthcoming legislation and stay up-to-date with best practice and the latest research in those areas key to managing process safety effectively. Having started in 2002, Hazardex continues to go from strength to strength and is complemented by our Hazardex in the Regions events that take place across the UK, as well as Hazardex International events that take place in mainland Europe and the Middle East.
The Exhibition is another important element of the event with leading hazardous area sector companies displaying the latest products and services to visitors. Each event provides exceptional opportunities for networking, with attendees from government agencies, regulators, certification bodies & training providers, consultants and product manufacturers meeting up with senior engineers and safety managers from the high hazard and process industry owner/operators to share their experiences. Every aspect of the Hazardex Live! aims to strengthen and expand the community that looks to the Hazardex website and journal for industry intelligence and information.
