Webinar: MENA’s Energy Transition – From Hydrocarbons to Renewables

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing one of the most dynamic energy transformations in the world. Long defined by hydrocarbons, the region is rapidly positioning itself as a global leader in renewable energy, driven by record-low solar and wind costs, flagship giga-projects, and strategic economic diversification.

Join us for an expert-led webinar exploring how the region is transitioning from oil and gas dependency towards a more sustainable, secure and diversified energy future.

What is this webinar about?

In this session, we will examine:

• The economics driving renewable energy growth across MENA

• Flagship projects and emerging energy vectors reshaping the region

• The role of policy, investment and innovation in accelerating transition

• Energy security, market competitiveness and climate change considerations

• Future trends informed by insights from leading global bodies such as the International Energy Agency and International Renewable Energy Agency

The discussion will place regional developments within a broader global context, highlighting how renewable energy is redefining geopolitics, economic resilience and sustainability worldwide.

Hear from a current student

We are pleased to be joined by Adya Sujeet, a current MSc Renewable Energy Engineering student, who will share her experience of studying in Dubai, the learning environment, and how the programme is shaping her professional ambitions in the renewable energy sector.
