Worldwide Support Network
The World Energy Cities Partnership (WECP) is a collaboration of 16 "energy cities" around the world.
City membership of the WECP encourages the exchange of energy industry knowledge and economic and infrastructure development strategies. This is important to assist each city in its common task of supporting their local energy sector. In addition to city collaboration, the WECP provides a worldwide network of industry support services and resources. It also facilitates trade missions for local businesses to travel to member cities and therefore capitalise on business development opportunities.
The mayor of each city heads the membership, with local government officers assisting in the partnership's activities. This collaboration provides a worldwide network of opportunity for the businesses within the member cities, and it also provides local governments with shared knowledge and resources to assist in economic development activities.
The WECP Working Meetings are scheduled to coincide with major oil and gas trade shows around the world. They are also used to broaden the WECP network of contacts, assist businesses with development opportunities and promote the WECP as a pioneer in worldwide energy industry development.
Specific benefits arising from WECP membership include business development activity, trade missions, joint projects and sharing of information in areas such as emergency planning, international schools, oil industry expectations, the environment and oil industry diversification strategies.
