About The Conference

The conference is committed to thoroughly analyzing the MENA region’s distinctive role in the energy transition. It will explore how the region adapts to an evolving energy landscape and responds to shifting global energy demand. As the world confronts climate change and rising energy needs, it is crucial to understand the essential link between attaining a clean, stable, and sustainable energy future and the imperative of investing in emerging industries. This analysis will form a robust foundation for discussions in the conference’s plenaries and concurrent sessions. Steering domestic energy and economic transformations in a transitioning world requires a multifaceted and comprehensive strategy that necessitates and incorporates technological advancements, policy reforms, and socio-economic considerations. As a unique collaborative platform, the conference will offer a space to discuss potential policy solutions and foster a culture of academic evidence-based problem-solving and constructive dialogue, helping to contribute to the ongoing global energy and economic discourse. The event presents a unique opportunity for economists, academics, researchers, institutional leaders, decision-makers, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and corporate executives to engage in meaningful discussions and share their valuable research and insights.
