In its ongoing commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions for the future, leading global energy group, ENGIE will attend the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) in Abu Dhabi from 16th to 19th January. ENGIE’s presence at the event underlies the organisation’s commitment to developing smart, sustainable and localised solutions for combatting climate change as the region transitions toward a low-carbon economy.

 

As part of the four-day event, ENGIE – formerly known as GDF SUEZ – will host an interactive stand in the International Pavilion as part of the French delegation. Visitors are invited to discover the company’s latest innovations and smart solutions which are set to transform the region’s energy sector. These include Siradel, ENGIE’s cutting-edge 3D urban modelling tool, which was developed to provide a visual representation of essential urban data in a realistic environment to build the smart cities of the future. Visitors will also be able to experience the company’s future-focused renewable energy solutions first-hand through Oculus virtual reality, and access a range of background materials and collateral through a virtual ENGIE content library.

 

“The region is going through unprecedented change and ENGIE is defining a new vision for energy in the GCC,” says Sébastien Arbola, CEO of ENGIE Middle East, South & Central Asia and Turkey. “As a company which stands at the forefront of the energy revolution we are committed to creating clean, cost effective solutions which support the region’s economic growth while alleviating the pressures of climate change. At ENGIE, we welcome the opportunity to participate in a leading event such as the World Future Energy Summit and look forward to sharing our latest innovations for a sustainable future.”

 

Members of ENGIE’s management team will also participate in the WFES conference program, a platform for the energy industry to discuss the future of renewable energy, clean technology and sustainability. During the conference, top ENGIE executives will provide their insight at a number of panel discussions and briefings, including: ‘Post-COP 22’ and ‘Decarbonising Businesses’ panels; a briefing on energy management systems for tomorrow’s sustainable cities; and comment on India’s renewable energy strategies.
