The Dii Desert Energy Leadership Summit, launched in 2010, has established itself as a unique, invitation only event for the top leaders and decision makers in the MENA and international renewables sector. 

Over the past 12 years, the annual summit has been a forum to discuss the progress of Dii’s work and some of the key topics to accelerate the energy transition in MENA and beyond. It presents a platform for Dii partners and stakeholders to share experiences, expectations, and perspectives in the transforming energy markets in MENA and beyond. The summit forms part of Dii’s wider roadmap of accelerating the energy transition in the Arab world by connecting regions, people and continents sharing Dii’s mission ‘No Emissions!’ 

The 12th edition was hosted in Cairo to honor Egypt as a leader in the energy transition and to showcase Egypt as a future trading hub for green electrons and molecules. Ahead of COP28, the Summit brough together over 230 global visionaries, regional and international industry leaders and political forces to discuss and debate the perspectives and how to move quickly from announcement to projects implementation.
