The 'Standard Chartered Future Theatre' is held in the Exhibition Hall and the line-up of programme aims to complement what is offered in the main WFES programme by delving deeper into key issues that may only have been touched on during the main conference sessions.
Hosted by Standard Chartered's renewable energy team, well known for their leading role in principal finance, mergers and acquisition, equity raising, advising, financing renewable and green energy deals, the theatre programme offers the WFES delegates a unique insight into the latest trends in specifically four sectors - solar, wind, carbon and policy.
Jeremy Parrish, CEO Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, Standard Chartered Bank, says:
"We believe we can make a difference to the environment and climate change, which is why we are proud to lead the discussions on pertinent topics concerning renewable energy. We are committed to act as a catalyst for shifting to a low-carbon economy as part of our broader 'sustainability' agenda and to drive awareness of sustainability in the UAE."
Peter Gutman, Global Head of Renewable Energy, Standard Chartered Bank, says:
"This is an important time for the renewable energy sector. With the backdrop of the economic crisis, it is easy to put climate change and renewable energy on the back burner. However, we continue to see growing momentum around policy support and the prospects for a price on carbon. Moreover, the growth and cost reductions achieved in the sector - particularly, wind and solar - have been compelling. We are looking at a number of exciting investment opportunities and maintain a bullish outlook for the long term prospects for renewable energy."
The 'Standard Chartered Future Theatre' is open to all exhibition and conference delegates free of charge.
