World Future Energy Summit is the world’s foremost annual meeting committed to advancing future energy, energy efficiency and clean technologies by engaging political, business, finance, academic and industry leaders to drive innovation, business and investment opportunities in response to the growing need for sustainable energy.

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.

Held under the patronage of His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and hosted by Masdar, Abu Dhabi's multi-faceted renewable energy company, the WFES 2012 will examine the role of innovation in speeding the adoption and deployment of renewable energy and the importance of maintaining the significant progress that is being made in improving energy efficiency.

WFES 2012 includes a world class Summit, an International Exhibition, the Project Village, Round Table Discussions, the Young Future Energy Leaders Program, corporate meetings and social events.

WFES represents an unrivalled business platform bringing together project owners and solution providers with investors and buyers from both the public and private sectors to explore global energy challenges with the view to creating real and sustainable solutions.

This is the 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.
