Activities

The Arab Energy Club (AEC) engages its members in a range of activities centered around two core pillars: Annual Meetings and Research Collaborations.

Annual Meetings

At the AEC, we host two annual meetings, serving as pivotal moments for members to convene, share insights, and engage in constructive dialogue. These gatherings provide a platform for industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and entrepreneurs to discuss emerging trends, technological advancements, policy frameworks, and investment opportunities shaping the Arab energy sector. Through interactive sessions, workshops, and networking events, our annual meetings facilitate the exchange of ideas, best practices, and potential collaborations to drive sustainable energy development in the region.

Research Collaborations

In addition to our annual meetings, we actively promote research and collaboration among our members and established centres of excellence. Through strategic partnerships with leading regional institutions, research organizations, and industry players, we aim to advance knowledge creation, innovation, and capacity building in various facets of the energy domain. From renewable energy technologies to energy efficiency measures, from policy analysis to market trends, our collaborative efforts seek to generate actionable insights and solutions that contribute to the sustainable growth of the Arab energy sector.
