Must-know information about HLUM 2025:
The High-Level User Meeting (HLUM) is ETN Global’s flagship, invitation-only forum for high-level decision-makers and senior gas turbine experts from the end-user community. It offers a unique platform to engage with senior peers across the utility, industrial, and oil & gas sectors, and to collaboratively define the short-, medium-, and long-term development needs of turbomachinery technologies. The outcomes of this meeting can play a critical role in enhancing the resilience, profitability, and strategic positioning of your operations.
In 2025, the focus will shift from broad challenges to a deep dive into a select number of key barriers—prioritised by participants. These discussions will directly influence ETN Global’s technical initiatives and working groups.
This year’s meeting will aim to:
- Reassess and confirm the continued relevance of the previously identified decarbonisation pathways
- Examine progress made on the technical, policy, financial, and societal challenges identified last year
- Evaluate how ETN Global’s activities are aligning with end-user priorities
- Formulate a coordinated message to the turbomachinery community around:
- Current and future market needs
- End-user priorities for decarbonisation
- Key technical developments and timelines
The HLUM agenda is structured to ensure strategic alignment, deep sectoral insight, and actionable outcomes. Highlights include:
- Welcome & Introduction
Review of key developments in the gas turbine market and reflection on progress since HLUM 2024. - Alignment and Progress
Assessment of how ETN Global’s ongoing initiatives align with evolving end-user needs. - Prioritised Challenges
In-depth, cross-sector discussions on a select number of high-impact challenges, identified in advance by participants. - Action Planning
Definition of targeted next steps for 2026 and formulation of a joint message to the wider turbomachinery community. - Networking Opportunities
Dedicated time for informal exchange during coffee breaks, lunch, and the evening dinner.
