Platform for Progress

The people and partnerships driving MENA’s clean energy transition.

The CEBC Annual Summit returns for its 13th edition at a pivotal moment for the region.

As scrutiny sharpens ahead of COP30, the question is no longer what to do – it’s how to deliver it.

This year’s summit brings together the people, partnerships and platforms driving the region’s clean energy transformation. From decarbonising heavy industry to deploying AI in energy systems and from unlocking climate finance to integrating mobility, hydrogen and digital infrastructure.

With perspectives from across government, finance and industry, the 13th CEBC Annual Summit is where decision-makers confront complexity, share hard-won insights and drive progress.

Because the energy transition won’t happen in isolation.
It will be built, together, by a region ready to lead.
