The 10th World Future Energy Summit (WFES) opens on Monday in Abu Dhabi, with the 2017 edition expected to be the biggest ever.
Hosted by Masdar as part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, the WFES drives the business case for sustainability.
Held under the theme of 'Sustaining the Clean Energy Consensus; Empowering New Players', WFES 2017 will bring together the world's leading technology providers, government delegations, innovators and thought leaders in Abu Dhabi. Organisers expect around 880 companies from 40 countries and 38,000 attendees from 175 countries. That is a substantial increase on 2016, with around 600 companies and 32,000 attendees.
As WFES reaches its 10-year milestone, visitor numbers are around three times the figure for the first event in 2008.
Mohamed Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar, said: "Through the World Future Energy Summit, Masdar has helped to build an internationally respected platform that is sharing the knowledge, experience and investment necessary to make renewable energy and clean-tech adoption a commercial reality in the region today and in markets beyond."
