Join us on 7 December in Dubai during COP28, for our Green Tech Conference. We’ll delve into the nexus of technology, sustainability, and innovation, exploring the transformative potential of green tech for businesses and the environment.

Businesses are recognizing the importance to invest in green technologies as a fundamental component of their strategies to reach net-zero emissions. Sustainability remains for many the primary objective, but the tangible benefits extend beyond environmental considerations. Embracing greener technologies can yield substantial cost savings, enhance investor relations, spur innovation, and strengthen brands.

Sessions include:

AI – Climate’s friend or foe

As AI technologies continue to advance, they hold the potential to both mitigate and exacerbate environmental challenges. This session will bring together industry leaders to discuss the various ways AI can impact climate change, ranging from the use of sustainable solutions to potential risks.
