A proud milestone, a strong team, and recognition on the regional stage.

More than five decades of entrepreneurship. Today, recognition on a regional stage.
IPT Energy has been awarded "Highly Commended, Energy Company of the Year" at the Gulf Business Awards 2026, marking an important milestone for the company and the wider journey of Issa Global.
The distinction followed a shortlist that brought together prominent regional and international energy companies, giving IPT Energy’s progress meaningful visibility among businesses shaping the sector.
For Issa Global, the achievement also tells a larger story. It reflects how the experience and entrepreneurial values of a family enterprise built over more than five decades continue to create new opportunities across markets.
Building on Experience
IPT Energy’s development in the UAE brings that story to life. Through continued investment in people, infrastructure, technology, operational capabilities and partnerships, the company has developed an increasingly integrated energy platform designed around the evolving needs of businesses in the region.
This growth carries forward principles that have shaped the Issa family’s business journey from the beginning: entrepreneurship, commitment to people, long-term thinking and the ambition to keep building.
Today, those foundations support a business equipped to grow, collaborate and create value in a dynamic regional market.
A Milestone with Meaning
The Gulf Business Awards bring together senior executives, entrepreneurs and decision-makers from across the Gulf, recognizing achievement across industries shaping the region’s economy.
For IPT Energy, receiving the Highly Commended distinction in the Energy Company of the Year category gives external recognition to the progress being made today. It also reflects the experience and values that continue to shape where the Group goes next.
