Empowering women founders
Honing in on renewables
Fresh grounds for discussion
The largest female participation in the 16-year history of the World Future Energy Summit will demonstrate the growing influence of women across the entire energy ecosystem and provide a platform to bring in their critical perspectives on key issues within the sector.
Renewables will be at the centre of World Future Energy Summit debates. As well as exploring ways of tripling renewable power generation capacity, global energy decision-makers will also look at ways to triple nuclear energy by 2050, double energy efficiency this decade, reach near zeromethane emissions by 2030, and cut the share of fossil fuels in the world’s energy production.
Familiar favourites are returning for this year’s edition of the World Future Energy Summit in the form of five curated conferences to navigate the pressing challenges facing the industry today, and facilitate a cleaner, greener tomorrow.
While female voices will be ringing out across the event, the dedicated Climate Innovations Exchange (CLIX) initiative will serve as a podium for femaleled startups, SMEs and innovators to showcase their innovative products to global investors. The conference will also feature a dedicated panel session around the female entrepreneurs that are leading global efforts to combat climate change and organisational decarbonisation efforts.
“The event will be a catalyst to further COP28 resolutions along the road to reality.”
The Solar & Clean Energy, EcoWASTE, Water, Smart Cities, and Climate and Environment conferences will be held across the three days, pulling together the brightest minds in the industry to tackle its leading concerns. Meanwhile, the 2024 edition will also see the inclusion of three new forums to open the dialogue even wider and bring a unique focus on the pertinent topics of Green Finance, eMobility and The Pathway to 1.5C.
