The Gulf Organisation for Industrial Consulting (Goic) has signed a five-year memorandum of understanding with Euro Petroleum Consultants (EPC), an independent consulting group based in London. The MoU facilitates the co-operation, co-ordination, and business relationship of the two parties and the way for future agreements on specific projects. The MoU was signed by Goic secretary general Abdulaziz bin Hamad al-Ageel and EPC president Colin Chapman at the Goic headquarters in Doha. According to the MoU, Goic and EPC will co-operate in the areas of marketing, consulting, conferences, training, and the exchange of expertise. The two parties also held detailed discussions on organising key events in the Gulf, specifically the annual Middle East Technology Forum (ME-TECH) and the International Gas Technology Conference (IGTC). It was also agreed that Goic will take part in the ME-TECH organised by EPC in Dubai on February 2015. The next conference will take place in Doha and will be co-organised by Goic and EPC.
