The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will host "the world's largest summit" focusing on renewable energy in Abu Dhabi in January 2008, the Emirates news agency reported on Sunday.
The summit, named "World Future Energy Summit," will consist of a high-level conference of global leadership and an industry exhibition on renewable energy, the report said.
It is aimed to drive the interface between research, academia, policy and business in the commercialization of new energy technologies.
"The summit will help diverse audiences in our region and around the world explore the full potential of renewable energy, and will hopefully move the world one step closer to a new understanding of energy," Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of the summit's organizer Masdar, was quoted as saying.
The summit will see more than 80 heads of state, ministers, and business, science and environment leaders from the global renewable energy community.
It is also expected to attract some 200 international exhibitors from Japan, China, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, India and France.
