Since 2010, the Annual Summits have paved the way for climate neutral, lowest cost and secure energy from the MENA deserts and we are thrilled to announce the 15th Dii Desert Energy Leadership Summit returns to Dubai.
The annual Summit gathers the real ‘doers of projects’ offering unique and first hand insights, providing latest project and market trends for emission free technologies in the MENA region. This unique high-level meeting in the market will be under the theme:
Energy Transformation in MENA: Vision. Implementation. Jobs
As we move into exponential growth, still much remains to be done to further accelerate. This year’s summit emphasizes the challenges of implementation and highlights the importance of market-driven mechanisms in advancing toward low-cost and climate-neutral energy solutions. Among the topics that will be discussed in this edition will be:
✅ What bottlenecks are holding back low-emission projects?
✅ How are AI and digitalization reshaping the energy sector and industries?
✅ How is the business case? What carrots and sticks are needed to create markets for climate-neutral energy?
✅ How to accelerate localization of low-emission energy projects and job creation?
