Etihad Water and Electricity (EtihadWE) showcased its key milestones in infrastructure development for the water and electricity sectors over the past three years in collaboration with its strategic partners and also outlined its strategic priorities for the future at a major forum hosted by the company in Umm Al Quwain.
EtihadWE reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening collaboration with its strategic partners across various sectors, highlighting their essential role in the company’s success and strategic objectives at the event held at the historic Al Ali Fort in Umm Al Quwain.
The 'Third Strategic Partners Forum' welcomed over 200 guests, including senior executives from major global and local companies that work closely with EtihadWE.
In his opening speech, CEO Engineer Yousif Ahmed Al Ali said this annual event was a key opportunity to enhance communication and reinforce partnerships that lie at the core of the company’s success.
"We recognise the invaluable contributions of our strategic partners and remain committed to fostering sustainable partnerships built on innovation and long-term vision," stated Al Ali.
