World Future Energy Summit Promotes Sustainability in Abu Dhabi
Energy Boom
The World Future Energy Summit (WFES) held in Abu Dhabi is a high-level event bringing in leading experts on climate change and the world of sustainable energy.
WFES provides an ideal networking event for industry leaders,investors, scientists, specialists, policymakers and researchers todiscuss the challenges of rising energy demand and actions to achieve acleaner and more sustainable future for the world.
Running over 4 days with over 30 individual conference sessions, thesummit has over 200 international speakers who will address the latestdevelopments in future energy strategy, policy and technology. Royalty,CEO’s, scientists, delegates, government institutions, and investorsare all expected among the predicted 17,000 in attendance.
What makes the summit stand out–aside from the fact it’s held inthe oil capital of the world, and boasts friendlier seasonal weatherthan, say, the Scandinavian countries–is that it appears to bepromoted (and sponsored) by both climate change advocates and fossilfuel interests alike. Let’s face it, oil companies know there is moneyto be found in renewable energy.
About WFES:
