Chapters
LNG Cluster chapters are local coordination layers that bring together our supported partners in key cities. They are not franchises or sub-organizations—rather, they serve as connective tissue for the ecosystem.
What Are Chapters?
Coordination Layers
Chapters organize supported partners by geography. They facilitate local networking, knowledge sharing, and ecosystem coordination while maintaining LNG Cluster's central governance and brand standards.
Not Franchises
Chapters are not independently operated franchises. They remain under LNG Cluster governance with consistent standards, policies, and institutional oversight across all locations.
Local Ecosystem Hubs
Each chapter brings together trading partners, service providers, technology vendors, and consultants relevant to the local LNG market. This creates genuine regional visibility and collaboration.
Strategic Neutrality
Chapters maintain institutional impartiality by limiting partner categories per city. No partner receives preferential positioning; visibility is distributed fairly across the supported ecosystem.
Chapter Structure & Governance
Chapters are coordinated by local teams working under LNG Cluster policies. Partner selection, category caps, and editorial decisions follow central institutional standards to ensure consistency.

Chapter FAQs
Can I be a partner in multiple cities?
Yes. Multi-city partnerships are encouraged for organizations with regional or global operations. Each location is evaluated separately based on category caps and institutional fit.
What if my city isn't listed?
We're expanding chapters based on market demand and partner interest. Contact us to express interest in your region, or apply for a partnership in a forming chapter.
Do chapters have their own leadership?
Chapters are coordinated by local teams operating under LNG Cluster governance. Decisions about partner approvals, category management, and institutional positioning come from LNG Cluster leadership.
How are partners selected for a chapter?
Partners submit applications and are evaluated against the same standards used globally: LNG relevance, professional quality, institutional fit, and category availability. Discretionary approval is required for all partnerships.
