Now approaching the 5th edition, World Future Energy Summit continues to provide the leading platform for international policy makers, innovators, business decision makers and investors to explore global energy challenges with the view to creating real and sustainable solutions.
In 2012, WFES will bring together more than 150 eminent thought leaders to reveal the latest innovations and discuss the burning issues surrounding future energy. This is your opportunity to hear cutting-edge information, gain first hand knowledge, and discuss with international colleagues the challenges and solutions for achieving clean, secure and sustainable energy for all.
This year’s Summit program has been designed to address the theme Powering Sustainable Innovation. As the global demand for energy continues to escalate, it is innovation which will transform our traditionally fossil fuel based energy into a diverse mix featuring renewable and sustainable energy sources. It is innovation which will enable the development of advanced clean energy technology and continue to make huge leaps forward in improving energy efficiency.
Throughout the four days of the Summit, the underlying theme of innovation will be seen across the framework of policy, business, technology and finance with ground breaking presentations from industry leaders, frank discussions among senior representatives from key players and valuable insights from respected analysts.
