THE ANNUAL
Dii DESERT ENERGY
LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
The Dii Desert Energy Leadership Summit,
launched in 2010, has established itself as a
unique, invitation-only event for the top lead-
ers and decision makers in the MENA and in-
ternational renewables sector. Over the past 12
years, the annual summit has been a forum to
discuss the progress of Dii's work and some of
the key topics to accelerate the energy transi-
tion in MENA and beyond.
It presents a platform for Dii partners and
stakeholders to share experiences, expecta-
tions, and perspectives in the transforming en-
ergy markets in MENA and beyond. The summit
forms part of Dii’s wider roadmap of accelerat-
ing the energy transition in the Arab world
by connecting regions, people and continents
sharing Dii's mission 'No Emissions!'
