“We at ECP are very proud to announce this exciting lineup of world-renowned IOCs who will be participating at this year’s AOG Conference and Exhibition,” states Miguel Artacho, ECP International Conference Director, adding that, “This esteemed lineup is indicative of Angola’s importance in the global energy space and will be imperative towards driving the country’s energy future.”

Angola’s largest independent equity producer of oil and gas, Azule Energy, a new 50/50 independent joint venture (JV) that combines the Angolan business assets of oil and gas supermajors, bp and Eni, will participate during the IOC panel at this year’s conference, demonstrating the JV’s commitment to the socioeconomic development of Angola through its natural resources.

Additionally, with interest in three deepwater blocks covering an area of approximately 8,000km2 in Angola, ExxonMobil is committed to meeting the growing demand for energy in the southern African country and will join the esteemed roster of IOCs during AOG 2022, where they will be expected to highlight the role of Angola’s resources and industries within the narrative of the shifting global economy.

Meanwhile, furthering the dialogue surrounding the effects of climate change and the importance of sustainable power in the southern African energy space, the SASSCAL will participate at AOG 2022 as a speaker during the conference’s IOC panel, offering their insight into the importance of sustainable development and the transition to renewable energy.

Finally, a partner in eight Angolan offshore producing fields in the Congo Basin, Equinor has been active in Angola since 1991, having consistently highlighted the country as a key market in the global energy industry and serving to maximize its existing assets and exploration opportunities while contributing towards the development of the southern African nation’s energy industry.

Held under the auspices of Angola’s Ministry of Mineral Resources, Oil and Gas and in partnership with the country’s national concessionaire, the National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuel; AIDAC; and the African Energy Chamber, AOG 2022 is the country’s fundamental energy event, serving to spur investment and deal-making while facilitating cooperation and collaboration among multiple sectors and creating an enabling environment for businesses to participate with the region’s top governmental leaders during three days of dealmaking and networking.

Optics Valley Launches Corporate International Communication Alliance to Empower Tech Companies’ High-Quality Global Expansion

WUHAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2026 – On September 13, the inauguration ceremony of the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance was held. Representatives of 13 founding member companies — including FiberHome, China Construction Third Engineering Bureau, HGTECH, YHKT Entertainment, Huakang Clean and Shenglong Electric — and of more than 100 other Optics Valley enterprises attended the event.

 




 
 

The ceremony was held under the theme “Chasing the Light, Connecting the World.” In recent years, Optics Valley’s innovations have been reaching the world at an accelerating pace. The overseas social media matrix of “Optics Valley of China” has continued to attract attention, and “made in Optics Valley” products such as the Optics Valley Photon sky rail and driverless minibuses have been repeatedly applauded by spokespersons of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, becoming a “calling card for China” in the eyes of overseas netizens. To help companies move from “product export” to “brand export,” Optics Valley has worked with the News & Information Service Center of Xinhua News Agency and other partners to establish the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance, opening international communication resources to Optics Valley companies and providing them with one-stop services such as overseas public opinion response and multilingual content production, so as to serve as a “navigator” for companies going global. As the national news agency of China, Xinhua News Agency has 184 overseas branches and has established cooperative links with more than 2,000 media outlets around the world.

Speaking as a representative of the founding members, Li Lei, vice president of FiberHome, said that FiberHome’s business now covers more than 100 countries and regions, with wholly owned subsidiaries in 36 countries and three overseas optical cable plants in Ecuador, Thailand and Hungary; at its Philippine subsidiary, locally hired employees account for more than 95 percent of the workforce. “We will stay committed to high-quality global expansion and to deepening localized operations, and, with the platform of the Optics Valley International Communication Alliance, we will not only export China’s advanced communication technologies and solutions, but also serve as a bridge for industrial cooperation and people-to-people connectivity between China and the rest of the world,” he said.

Huakang Clean, also a founding member, is a leading enterprise in China’s cleanroom industry. It has made going global a core strategy for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, completed its market layout in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, South America and Africa, and exported mature cleanroom technology solutions. It looks forward to deepening cross-border collaboration and strengthening brand building through the alliance platform.

At the ceremony, a think tank report was released — “Going Global, Competing Worldwide: How ‘Optics Valley of China’ Polishes Its International Calling Card in Service of Building a Strong Nation in Science and Technology — Practices and Insights,” written by Reference News Press · Reference Think Tank. According to the report, leading enterprises represented by the “Seven Stars of Optics Valley” have seen average annual growth in overseas revenue of more than 30 percent. The report sums up Optics Valley’s global communication path as “one strategic direction and ten keywords”: Optics Valley takes serving the building of a strong nation in science and technology as its strategic direction, and adheres to central-local coordination, AI empowerment, going global as a team, and tailored measures for different markets.

The report states that Optics Valley has witnessed and written the confidence and determination of a brand of a strong nation in science and technology going global, and that when the light of “Optics Valley of China” illuminates the global industrial landscape, it conveys the narrative of the times in which China takes part in global competition through technological self-reliance and self-strengthening and shares its opportunities with the world. The report suggests that, for Optics Valley to keep polishing its international calling card in service of building a strong nation in science and technology, three things need to be fully considered: first, elevating the Optics Valley story from “corporate behavior” to a “national narrative”; second, making full use of AI, a global knowledge-service infrastructure, to carry out global communication; and third, moving from “communication empowering industry” to “communication as an industrial capability.”

A training session on overseas communication capacity building was held alongside the inauguration ceremony, with David Wei, founder of Vision Knight Capital, and Cao Yang, deputy director of the International Communication Department of the News & Information Service Center of Xinhua News Agency, invited to give lectures.
