| About The Event - Introduction |
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 Summit in its 2nd edition, held on January 2009 has succeeded in attracting the world leaders attention and brought together along with the World future energy exhibition 18,420 visitors coming from 84 countries which included 1,124 conference delegates, 200 top key speakers, 804 Top VIPS, 734 members of the press and 144 official delegations representing 19 countries from the political, business, scientific, policy and education backgrounds such as:
