World Future Energy Summit

World Future Energy Summit, the world's platform for sustainable future energy solutions, provides an ideal networking event for industry leaders, investors, scientists, specialists, policymakers, and researchers to discuss the challenges of rising energy demand and actions to achieve a cleaner and more sustainable future for the world.

In April 2006, Abu Dhabi took a bold and historic decision to embrace renewable and sustainable energy solutions. As the first major hydrocarbon-producing nation to take such a step, it established its leadership position by launching Masdar, a global cooperative platform dedicated to finding and deploying solutions to some of the mankind's most pressing issues: energy security, climate change and truly sustainable human development.

Under the patronage of H.H. General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, Masdar hosted the inaugural World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi from January 21 to 23, 2008. The highly successful debut edition paved the way for an even larger and better attended World Future Energy Summit 2009, also held in Abu Dhabi

The World Future Energy and Environment exhibitions, along with the Summit, covered an area of nearly 40,000 sqm, housing more than 600 exhibitors from 44 countries. Together, the Summit and Exhibitions have created one of the world's must-attend events in future energy, an unmissable networking and business opportunity for the energy and environment communities.
