INTRODUCING THE EUROPEAN FUTURE ENERGY FORUM 2011

The European Future Energy Forum (EFEF) is an initiative developed with Masdar - Abu Dhabi’s multi-faceted, multi-billion dollar investment in the development and commercialisation of innovative technologies in renewable, alternative and sustainable energies. EFEF was launched in 2009 following the success of the World Future Energy Summit held annually in Abu Dhabi. Now established as an annual event in its own right this will be the 3rd European Future Energy Forum following high-quality forums in Bilbao and London.

The move to Geneva in 2011 will create a central hub for international business and government leaders to once again meet and find solutions to the Future Energy issues that we continue to face. The theme for the Forum this year will be ‘Making Innovation Happen for a Sustainable World’ with a conference programme that aims to generate inspiration and knowledge transfer across energy sectors and geographic regions, whilst bridging the gap to actually finding solutions to turn the big ideas into feasible results.

EFEF 2011 will consist of a high-profile conference alongside an international Cleantech exhibition. This event is an opportunity for attendees to present their own ideas, demonstrate technology, debate the issues, find business partnerships, understand the policy decision making process and network with the people who will make the difference.

‘Masdar looks forward to the European Future Energy Forum in Geneva, where we hope to continue our search for partnerships to address our future energy challenges’
Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, CEO, Masdar

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT EFEF?

Out with the old, in with the new

In 2011 we are focussing on the technology…

• What are the latest ideas that will evolve or disrupt the energy markets of the future?
• What are the policy frameworks that need to be in place to make it happen?
• How do we assure return on investment and avoid the pitfalls of the past?
• How do we create the necessary infrastructure to enable real change?

See the world through the eyes of visionary thinkers and hear their predictions for the future through a series of inspirational keynote presentations.

The Forum this year will also be more interactive with audience participation actively encouraged through panel debates and the opportunity to arrange 1-2-1 appointments with hundreds of international delegates.

Standing out from the crowd

The European Future Energy Forum attracts the highest level of decision makers, creating an environment where large international business relationships are developed and business deals are done.

EFEF looks at the big international picture – looking at creating solutions through technology, policy, finance, infrastructure and getting the energy mix right through production and security.
