World Future Energy Summit 2026 to spotlight potential of AI

As artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative force in the clean energy sector, the World Future Energy Summit 2026 will spotlight its vast potential to reshape energy production, transmission, and efficient, data-driven distribution. Running from 13th-I5th January at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), the three-day show is an integral part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026.

With the theme of Al running across all seven conference tracks at this year's show, the 2026 edition will build on that momentum, raising the bar with the launch of the FUSE AI Zone, a dedicated platform where more than 40 companies will showcase cutting-edge Al solutions to drive clean energy, smart infrastructure, and climate resilience.

The event will also incorporate the inaugural Artificial Intelligence Conference, a forum exploring how Al can be responsibly harnessed to accelerate progress across the energy, infrastructure, and smart cities sectors.

Gathering thought leaders, innovators, and policy influencers, the Summit will laser in on Al's predictive power and its ability to optimise the management of clean energy flows, providing a vital technical boost to help low-carbon systems scale effectively.

In the Middle East and North Africa (Mena), Al adoption is accelerating across multiple areas, from grid and demand-response management to sector coupling and system maintenance.
