emirates7 - The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE) will take part in GITEX Global 2024, the world's largest technology and startup event, from October 14 to 18, 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, as part of the Abu Dhabi Government pavilion.
The DoE plans to showcase important innovations and digital solutions within the energy sector, emphasizing the acceleration of the emirate's digital transformation.
This event is expected to attract a substantial global presence from startups and leading companies in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, mobility, and sustainable technology. These organizations will display their latest innovations, solutions, and future initiatives that support economic growth, drive comprehensive development, and contribute to building a sustainable digital future.
Ahmed Mohammed Al Rumaithi, Under-Secretary of the DoE, commented, "The DoE’s participation in GITEX underscores our crucial role in developing digital capabilities and solutions for the energy sector. This event provides a valuable platform for exchanging experiences, exploring the latest technological advancements, and uncovering new opportunities to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of Abu Dhabi's energy landscape. Our involvement this year illustrates our dedication to advancing the emirate's digital transformation as we highlight key initiatives and innovative solutions that improve customer experiences. These efforts align with the DoE’s goals to promote the transition to clean and renewable energy sources while fostering innovation in sustainable, eco-friendly energy solutions."
He added, "Innovation is central to our strategy, serving as a critical driver for economic development, energy efficiency, sustainability, and achieving climate neutrality by 2050. We also seek to strengthen collaborations with stakeholders and an environment conducive to innovation, allowing us to tackle environmental challenges and reduce carbon emissions."
The DoE will introduce several new digital initiatives, including a virtual reality application for gas safety awareness, offering an immersive experience that simulates safety procedures. Users can navigate through virtual residential buildings and villas, interact safely with liquefied petroleum gas, and learn safety protocols through educational panels and realistic scenarios.
This application educates users about compliance guidelines, highlights safety benefits and maintenance responsibilities, and provides realistic simulations for handling emergency gas leak situations.
Additionally, the DoE will present the EnergiX app, an interactive educational game available on iOS and Android, aimed at students aged 10 to 14. The game raises awareness and promotes positive behaviors regarding the conservation of water and electricity, engaging users in discussions about natural resource preservation and sustainability.
The DoE will also emphasize its sustainability initiatives, including efforts to decarbonize the sector and innovative solutions for expediting the transition to clean and renewable energy. This will encompass recent policy updates, such as the Abu Dhabi Energy and Water Efficiency Strategy 2030, along with future foresight reports and key initiatives aimed at conserving energy and water resources.
Furthermore, the DoE has set ambitious objectives to digitize energy and water services, ensuring they are user-friendly and accessible. The department is committed to offering a broad range of essential services through advanced digital platforms, ensuring customer satisfaction and consistent service delivery aligned with global best practices.
