About the Summit
Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces today
Few forces will have a profound impact on businesses and economies as the global dynamics of energy, natural resources, development, and environment. The great energy challenge of our time is to meet the demands of a growing world economy. As the world’s population surge to 8 billion by 2030, the struggle to produce 50% more food and energy and 30% more fresh water, whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions, becomes more intense. No less urgent is the need to bring modern energy services to the 1.3 billion people who still lack access to electricity today.
In response to these challenges, world leaders are taking action. Governments around the world are pledging their commitments to improve energy efficiency, deliver energy access and drive clean energy deployment. Transforming our energy system demands a new level of collaboration and a synchronized set of actions in the technical, economic, social, and political realms. As Dr. Sultan Al Jaber emphasized in his welcome address at the 2014 summit, “Achieving this will require a different mind-set: A mind-set where partnership is central, where companies and governments co-innovate, align agendas, share risk and together share the rewards.”
Moving the world closer to a clean energy future
At the centre of this transformation is World Future Energy Summit, an annual meeting place of more than 30,000 policymakers and business leaders from 170 countries - in the pursuit of a secure, safe and reliable source of energy to power world economic growth.
Hosted by Masdar and the centrepiece of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, World Future Energy Summit cultivates a much-needed dialogue between critical stakeholders, from Heads of States, Governments, Academia and the Business and Financial communities.
Our well-researched conference programme is designed to reflect the most important conversations taking place in the industry. To our delegates, they’re a window into the future, pinpointing opportunities for growth and profitability; an opportunity to access the best thinking, best practices, innovations and resources in clean energy deployment.
