E4 Abu Dhabi

Home E4 Abu Dhabi

Defining a Pathway to a Carbon Neutral Economy

With a backdrop of COP28 taking place in the UAE in November 2023, ENGIE is bringing its global E4 event to Abu Dhabi. The event brings together regional government Ministers, CEOs and industry leaders who place achieving net zero at the heart of their actions.

Through informed high-level discussions and exclusive case studies, E4 will showcase and discuss viable approaches to decarbonisation, outline the true challenges that businesses face as they implement their strategies, discuss practical solutions that will have the greatest impact, and highlight the most cost-effective approaches for countries or companies wishing to accelerate their net zero journey.  The event will also offer an unrivalled opportunity to network with peers.

Using Mentimeter

We will be using Mentimeter to provide an interactive element to the panels and to the Voice of the Customer segments.

During the panels, if you click on the link below, it will take you a page that will allow you to add your thoughts, comments, and supporting statements to back up the presenters statements. These comments are live and will appear on the screen behind the panel of speakers. Due to the tight timings we will be unable to accept questions for the panel discussions.

In the Voice of the Customer segment, we invite you to ask questions that you would like to ask the presenters.
