France will launch today (January 16) a “French Efficiency – Clean Energy” regional Club for the Middle East on the occasion of the ongoing Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week and the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Recognizing the importance of the new industrial revolution that energy systems are undergoing, France is encouraging the development of such regional clubs in key areas of the world to facilitate knowledge of the technologies and solutions offered by its companies, to foster partnerships and to support the deployment of renewable and clean energies.

The Middle East Club will be a tool to facilitate exchanges and interaction with all concerned private and public, local and multilateral actors of the clean energy sector in the Middle East, and will develop active cooperation with the similar French Club for Eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean set up last May 2016 in Nairobi.

This event underlines the importance of an already long lasting cooperation between the French industry and the UAE as well as other countries of the region, and stresses the willingness to reinforce it as a way to contribute to the implementation of the Paris agreements on climate change for the sake of our planet’s future. – TradeArabia News Service
