More than 3,000 people yesterday attended the opening ceremony of the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi. The objective of the event is to “identify practical and sustainable solutions for today’s energy security, environment and climate change challenges.”

The opening session was attended by political leaders, CEOs, academic experts and members of the Young Future Energy Leaders program.

The event is described as a “global collaborative platform, promoting innovation and investment opportunities in renewable energy and the environment”. The program includes over 20 plenary forums and discussions about renewable energy, sustainable development, banking and investment, research and development, environmental planning and power generation and distribution.

“The agenda for this year’s Summit surpasses any previous years, which in themselves have been very impressive. The level of participation this year is unprecedented and a true testament to the focus the world now has on renewable energy. We are confident that this year we will further solidify the Summit’s reputation as being the world’s foremost gathering on renewable energy”, said Frederic Theux, President of Reed Exhibitions Middle East, the organisers of the World Future Energy Summit.

Innovations in renewable energy, waste management, water treatment and sustainable developed are being showcased by more than 600 exhibitors from 50 countries at two parallel events called World Future Energy and Environment Exhibitions.
