Past event: Global Local Content 2015 Conference

The world’s leading conference dedicated to the Local Content Community!

How effective is your local content strategy?

Most governments and international organisations would agree that this is not a straightforward question. In a recent survey conducted by the organiser, 43% of the participating governments, NOCs, IOCs, and service providers agreed that their current programme could be greatly improved.

Governments and organisations alike find creating, establishing, and measuring local content strategy a complicated task. With the current economic landscape impacting global investment projects, local content has become a center point for governments exploring ways to encourage investment that will in turn have a positive impact on socio-economic infrastructure.


Join us for the 11th annual congress, where figures at the forefront of local content development will discuss:

  • Global case studies from leading ministries, NOCs, oil and gas companies, policy makers, regional and international service providers: Hear from Mexico, Iraq, Mozambique, Equatorial Guinea, Tanzania, Nigeria, Brazil,  Ghana,  Egypt, Argentina, Saudi, UK, Sri Lanka, South Africa and many more.
  • What makes a robust policy and how can this be monitored? Participants will be encouraged to articulate what attributes make a strong policy and what actions can be taken to maintain policy
  • Focus on Africa: Investment opportunities and the development of partnerships and policy
  • Measuring success: Learn how your company can form and monitor robust local content strategies and frameworks
  • Hands on policy development: After hearing from some of the leaders in local content policy, learn how your country can develop your policy to attract investment while bettering your local community and supply chain


Join new frontier and mature market strategy facilitators at the world's leading local content conference to discuss:

  • What makes a Robust Policy? Hear from industry leaders as they explore case studies illustrating the skillful harmonising of investment opportunity and local benefit
  • Metrics and Measurement: Learn how your organisation or governing body can decisively monitor the impact of your local content programmes
  • Human Capital: Managing the development of human resource and facilitating local job creation through the appropriate educational programmes
  • Technology Transfer: Explore how organisations have incorporated new technologies through partnerships and the consequential learnings from these crucial joint ventures
  • Local Supply Chain: Gain insight into how governments and NGOs have fostered significant business linkages in strengthening local supply chains
  • Local Content Impact on all Stakeholders: Get a rounded perspective on how local and international companies are influenced by policy and what each would like to see within the context of these programmes
