Doha, Qatar: As thousands of technology leaders, innovators and investors gathered in Doha for Web Summit Qatar 2026, Shell demonstrated how digital solutions are delivering safer, more efficient and more secure energy operations.

Shell concluded its participation at Web Summit Qatar 2026 following four days of meaningful engagement, serving as a platform for dialogue on how digital transformation can accelerate progress towards a sustainable energy future.

Throughout the summit, Shell demonstrated practical applications of artificial intelligence, data analytics and cybersecurity in energy operations, drawing strong interest from attendees. As part of its technology showcase, Shell presented its advanced immersion cooling fluid, a next-generation solution for thermal management in high-performance computing and data centres.

Developed using Shell’s proprietary Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) technology, this synthetic dielectric fluid enables direct submersion of IT components, delivering superior heat transfer efficiency while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

The technologies showcased at Web Summit Qatar build on Shell’s recent recognition by the World Economic Forum as a Lighthouse site for digital transformation, acknowledging the successful application of advanced digital solutions at scale. The Lighthouse designation highlights how technologies such as data analytics, automation and artificial intelligence are being embedded into operations to deliver tangible improvements in performance, resilience and efficiency, reinforcing Shell’s focus on practical, real‑world digital innovation.
