Sustainability Innovation Awards 2022 is one of the leading events applauding the achievements of the region's sustainability initiatives and projects from all sectors in the Middle East. The awards strive to recognise individual excellence, corporate strengths, and project success from all sectors. Companies are invited to nominate the people, projects, and initiatives of which they are most proud of.
With the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the slowdown in the economy of several countries had a negative impact on the regional market for sustainable and renewable energy. With countries in the region having an oil-dependent economy, a strong revival in the oil & gas sector became the priority for several nations, leading to a temporary shift in focus away from renewables. Factors such as various government's plan to diversify the energy mix and increase investments in renewable energy and sustainability initiatives are expected to be significant contributors to the growth of the market. However, the increasing penetration of natural gas for power generation purposes, along with its lower prices is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The UAE is expected to witness a significant growth in the Middle-East renewable energy and sustainability market during the forecast period, owing to the upcoming projects and government targets.
