Powered by Her, an energy leadership initiative, launched its Founding Ambassadors programme on  September 3, 2026, the third day of Middle East Energy 2026.

Backed by the UAE Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure (MoEI), the initiative brought together women leaders from across the energy, finance, legal and technology sectors to discuss ways to create greater opportunities for the next generation of women in energy.

The Founding Ambassadors participating in the discussion were Mozah Al Nuaimi, Chief AI Officer at MoEI; Nawal Al Hanaee, Director of Future Energy at MoEI; Dr. Ahdab Elmorshedy, President of CIGRE Egypt; Josephine Udonsak, Partner at Dentons; Helen Aigbe Brume, Director & Global Head of Project & Asset-Based Finance at African Export-Import Bank; and Dr. Didacienne Mukanyiligira, Chairperson of the Board at Rwanda Energy Group.

Offering advice to emerging women leaders in energy, Al Nuaimi said: "The power is ours to take. If you want to lead something, just go ahead and lead it. If you want to share a point of view, just say it politely as much as you can. If there is a wall, just hit it with a hammer. And keep investing in yourself – you are never too old to learn and move forward."

Powered by Her will continue throughout the year with roundtables, networking opportunities and speaking sessions for female energy professionals across dmg events’ energy portfolio. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
