Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC – Masdar is set to host the upcoming World Future Energy Summit (WFES), a leading business event for future energy, clean technology and sustainability, of which ESG Mena is a proud sponsor.
At the event, taking place from April 16-18 at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), the Masdar Pavilion, housed in Hall 5, will act as a hub for innovation, collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Further, its theatre will feature a program of panels and presentations, including forums by Masdar’s global strategic initiatives, Y4S (Youth 4 Sustainability) and WiSER (Women in Sustainability, Environment and Renewable Energy).
Masdar will also host the Innovation Zone, which will feature a series of industry panels with innovators and experts focusing on the latest climate solutions.
It will include technology showcases from ADSW partners, international startups and SMEs across urban mobility, clean energy, agritech, and artificial intelligence, and will officially launch the SME Day at WFES on April 18 to continue the legacy of the COP28 SME Climate Hub initiative.
The energy company is also set to host the annual Green Hydrogen Summit on April 16.
The Green Hydrogen Summit will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, forward-thinking investors and pioneering entrepreneurs.
Commenting on Masdar’s participation in the event, HE Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Chairman of Masdar and President of COP28, said: “By delivering the UAE Consensus and the Action Agenda, COP28 raised the bar on climate action, but our work is just beginning. Now is the time to turn agreement into action and accelerate our efforts to meet the ambitions of the UAE Consensus and keep 1.5°C within reach. The size of the problem demands we explore all avenues and all technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). I encourage the energy industry to invest in Artificial Intelligence and harness its climate potential. WFES provides a crucial platform for every stakeholder – including governments, industry leaders and policymakers – to play their part and unlock the investments needed to deliver the energy transition.”
