The UAE Climate Tech Forum is an important venue for showcasing a diverse variety of new technology, financial prospects, and climate change mitigation initiatives. Over 60 firms, including several newcomers to the UAE market, are showcasing cutting-edge technologies in carbon capture, artificial intelligence, robotics, digitalization, hydrogen, alternative fuels, and low-carbon energy solutions. These solutions are especially developed to meet the unique issues that industries like oil and gas and other difficult-to-abate sectors encounter.
The UAE Climate Tech Forum, currently underway at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, will feature a keynote speech by WiTricity CEO Alex Gruzen. Gruzen’s presence at the conference adds a new dimension to the event, as he will highlight the potential of wireless charging solutions in advancing sustainable technology.
