Since it was first held in 2008, the World Future Energy Summit has strived to be a platform that could facilitate practical progress in renewable energy. The urgent global need to find energy solutions that are both secure and sustainable is a challenge that requires a global response. The World Future Energy Summit, held every year in Abu Dhabi and hosted by Masdar, provides a crucial platform to address this challenge. In recognition that only an interdisciplinary approach to this enormous challenge will yield tangible results, the annual summit addresses issues of public policy, research and development and business in a coordinated approach.

Under the ongoing 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 January 2008. In such a short period, the summit has gained recognition as one of the world’s most influential gatherings of leaders in the clean technology and the renewable energy sector. Different energy alternatives could have a positive impact on the cost of auto rates. The Summit is trying to find solutions so that we all may benefit.

The 2010 World Future Energy Summit was more influential than ever before, with the attendance of more than 100 official delegations, lead by ministers, royals and heads of state, and more than 1,400 CEOs, as well as more than 24,000 attendees from more than 130 countries. Alongside the summit, two exhibitions are held: the World Future Energy Exhibition, focused on advanced and renewable energy, representing the fields of solar, wind, biofuels, geothermal technologies and energy efficiency solutions for green buildings, and the World Future Environment Exhibition, dedicated to air, water and waste management technologies and solutions.
