The World Future Energy Summit (WFES) will return to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) in January as part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2025 (ADSW).
Hosted by Masdar, the 2025 edition will focus on a number of areas, including the Middle East’s role as a new global fuels hub, the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in energy industry transformation, and sustainability pathways.
Convening energy sector players, policy and decision-makers, and industry innovators, organisers said the event will provide the opportunity to demonstrate, discuss and debate cutting-edge solutions and trends.
Over 400 global companies and 350 industry speakers are anticipated to take part, featuring six exhibition tracks, covering solar energy, EcoWASTE, water, clean energy, smart cities, and climate and environment.
Seven conference streams will provide in-depth discussions on topics such as Pathways to 1.5°C, with dedicated programmes around Water and Food Security, Sustainable Cities, and Waste Management, through a strategic partnership with Tadweer.
Green Finance will also feature, alongside a dedicated focus on women in energy through initiatives like CLIX, a platform supporting women in the sector and start-ups.
“The World Future Energy Summit is not just another industry event—it’s the heart of innovation and collaboration for building a sustainable energy future at a critical juncture,” commented Leen AlSebai, General Manager of RX Middle East and Head of the World Future Energy Summit.
