DEI strategies are no longer ‘nice-to-haves’, but essential to building a sustainable business.

It’s our first event of the year, and we’re going big. We’re pleased to announce that Wazoku is the Platinum Sponsor for this year’s Oil & Gas Automation and Technology Week 2023. Taking place across two days in Houston, Texas, this in-person event brings together the best and brightest in the Oil and Gas industry as they seek to scout out their future.

2022 was a truly brilliant year for Wazoku on the world stage. Across all manner of awards shows and special recognition coverage, we amassed 10 different wins and certifications, as well as a host of further nominations. From national to international, individual to company-wide rewards, it was enthralling to see our work being recognized by so many throughout the year.

One of the common misconceptions around innovation is that it involves asking your employees to simply “have better ideas.” The reality, however, is that good ideas stem from multiple factors and not from a top-down directive.
