"We are a proud partner of the Abu Dhabi government's Masdar initiative, and we look forward to bringing in our expertise in energy, technology and infrastructure to meet today's environmental challenges," said Nabil Habayeb, President & CEO, Middle East and Africa.

The Masdar initiative is Abu Dhabi's multi-faceted response to the need for a global focus on resource conservation and the alternative energy sector. It is designed to ensure in the long term that Abu Dhabi retains and even grows its share of the global energy market.

Joe Anis, Region Executive for the Middle East, GE Energy, said: "By hosting the World Future of Energy Summit, the UAE is reiterating the importance it places on developing alternatives for cleaner and reliable sources of energy, which has a key role in addressing the concerns of climate change. GE Energy has been in the forefront of cleaner, reliable and more efficient energy solutions, highlighted further by our ecomagination initiative that helps our customers meet pressing environmental challenges."

He added: "GE Energy's participation at the World Future of Energy Summit by highlighting a broad range of technologies complements our already pioneering role in introducing alternative sources of more cost effective and more efficient energy to the region. GE has been working since 1966 in supplying and constructing power generation equipment and facilities throughout the Middle East."
