World Future Energy Summit

In April 2006, Abu Dhabi took a bold and historic decision to embrace renewable and sustainable energy technologies.

As the first major hydrocarbon-producing nation to take such a step, it has established its leadership position by launching Masdar, a global cooperative platform for open engagement in the search for solutions to some of mankind`s most pressing issues: energy security, climate change and truly sustainable human development.

In order to achieve the long-term goals of Masdar it was deemed essential to pool together the highest level of expertise, investors and suppliers - hence the birth of the World Future Energy Summit.
