The inaugural Emirates Energy Efficiency Summit (EEES 2016) held on 3 to 4 February 2016 at the American University in Dubai, brought together industry thought leaders to tackle the energy crisis faced by the region today.
Hosted by General Electric (GE) and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the invitation-only summit was a result of the ongoing energy crises faced around the globe along with the instability in crude oil.
HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco said: “As a follow up to the Euro Mediterranean meetings organised in Monaco over the past five years, the Emirates Energy Efficiency Summit offers a global approach to energy issues, due both to the questions raised and the eminent figures who provide answers. How can we mobilise individuals, companies and states for fundamental change, which is not cost neutral and whose results are sometimes distant? This question is I believe at the heart of any environmental commitment.”
