“We are pleased to once again sponsor the World Future Energy Summit, which is one of the most prominent international platforms to address the challenges and future of the energy sector. It is an annual forum that brings together experts and specialists to exchange ideas and best practices, and explore the growing investment opportunities in the clean energy sector in the Middle East and North Africa, which is one of the most promising renewable energy markets in the world. Sponsoring WFES supports DEWA’s efforts to enhance the UAE’s leadership in renewable energy investments. All efforts integrate together to deliver quality services according to the best international practices and standards, and find innovative solutions in energy that contribute to building a sustainable future, for generations to come,” said Al Tayer.
