The XI International Industrial and Energy Forum TNF was held in Tyumen from September 14 to 17, 2026, at the Tyumen Technopark under the theme "Oil and Gas Industry of the Future: Energy of Leadership," marking the first year the event operated with full international status, according to Russia's Pivot to Asia.
The event gathered more than 18,000 participants representing over 60 Russian regions, with senior executives from fuel, energy, and related industrial sectors making up 80 percent of the audience. Eighteen vertically integrated oil companies participated, including Russian producers Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, LUKOIL, NOVATEK, and Surgutneftegaz, alongside foreign participants such as the UAE's ADNOC and Kazakhstan's KazMunayGas and QazaqGaz.
More than 50 cooperation agreements were signed during the forum, with over 200 new technologies launched and more than 200 business meetings conducted. The source reported that this expanded upon the 2025 forum, which included 120 exhibitors at TNF EXPO featuring companies from China, Belarus, and Iran.
Analysis from the publisher highlighted an evolving international technology-sharing model in which Russian centers focus on research, engineering, and intellectual property, while China provides manufacturing scale, alongside regional localization initiatives with partner economies.
