Importance of Digital Transformation in the Energy Transition

SPEAKERS

Carlos Vitale Director - Strategy & Marketing, Baker Hughes

ABOUT THE SESSION

Carlos Vitale, Director of Strategy & Marketing at Baker Hughes, will share his views on the critical role digital transformation plays in enabling a successful energy transition. With over 12 years of experience spanning renewable energy modeling, subsea innovation, and strategic market development, Carlos brings a unique perspective to how digitalization can drive efficiency, safety, and sustainability across the inspection landscape. Representing a business unit with more than 125 years of expertise in non-destructive testing technologies such as X-ray, ultrasound, visual, and pipeline in-line inspections, he will highlight how data-driven approaches are transforming asset integrity management. He will also discuss the intersection of advanced technologies, cross-sector collaboration, and emerging markets as key levers to accelerate innovation.

He will share his views on how cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital replicas are opening new frontiers in the inspection and monitoring of assets across the oil & gas sector and beyond. He’ll examine how data intelligence can optimize workflows, minimize downtime, and improve safety across critical operations. With smarter analytics, companies can extract deeper insights from asset performance data, allowing for faster decision-making and greater efficiency. Carlos will explore how such tools are not only transforming conventional processes but also enabling faster scale-up of clean energy projects. He will dive into how digital innovation is helping eliminate inefficiencies and reduce material wastage, while simultaneously supporting long-term sustainability goals. A special spotlight will be on the development of a digital replica of a lithium-ion battery manufacturing line—a project that underscores the real-world impact of digital transformation. He’ll unpack the lessons learned, hurdles faced, and strategic relevance of this advancement for energy players worldwide. Through these perspectives, he’ll highlight how collaboration between digital tools and industry expertise is driving a smarter, cleaner future.
