According to a statement this week, the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) is participating in this year’s GITEX Global 2024 in Dubai, where it will showcase innovations and digital solutions for the energy sector.
The department noted that this will include walkthroughs of recent policy updates, such as the Abu Dhabi Energy and Water Efficiency Strategy 2030, a series of future foresight reports, and key initiatives aimed at conserving energy and water resources.
His Excellency Eng. Ahmed Mohammed Al Rumaithi, Undersecretary of the DoE, said that the event—convening 6,500 exhibitors, 1,800 startups, and 1,200 investors from more than 180 countries—serves as a platform to exchange experiences, explore the latest technological innovations, and unlock new opportunities to improve the efficiency and sustainability of Abu Dhabi’s energy sector.
The Abu Dhabi DoE added that alongside showcasing several new digital initiatives, it would also present the EnergiX app, an interactive digital educational game designed for students aged 10 to 14, aimed at raising awareness and encouraging positive behaviours in conserving water and electricity.
“Innovation is at the core of our strategy, playing a crucial role in driving economic development, achieving energy efficiency and sustainability, and reaching climate neutrality by 2050. We also aim to strengthen collaboration with stakeholders and create an environment that encourages innovation, enabling us to address environmental challenges and reduce carbon emissions,” commented the Undersecretary of the DoE.
GITEX Global runs from the 14th to the 18th of October at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
