2 BACKGROUND World LP Gas demand continues to grow at 2-3% per year resulting not only in several million tonnes of additional product entering the market but tens of thousands of new personnel added to the business. With the population of more than 53 million, Myanmar is one of the last few remaining untapped market for LPG in the world. Since the change to civilian government in 2011,the country has seen unprecedented growth in the economy. With a growing middle class demanding cleaner forms of energy, LPG is well positioned to grow and replace traditional fuels for cooking. This potential growth has attracted many foreign interests from the LPG industry to look at Myanmar as the next growth market in the coming years. Nevertheless, the LPG industry in Myanmar still lacks infrastructure, political stability and competencies in human resources for such growth potential to be realised. The LPG Academy will be running a 2-day training focusing on LPG investments in Yangon in May 2015 WHO SHOULD ATTEND? LPG Business Development Managers LPG Project Managers Senior Managements of LPG Business LPG Equipment Suppliers LPG Refilling Companies LPG Suppliers VENUE: Summit Parkview Yangon 350 Ahlone Road Dagon Township Yangon, Myanmar.
