Summary
The session framed Abu Dhabi’s energy transition as an investable opportunity rather than only a sustainability story, asking how investors can gain exposure to clean energy, grid flexibility, district cooling, green hydrogen, and other bankable infrastructure-linked projects. Host Georgia Tolley opened by positioning LiveXLivex around the idea that cities serving their people will be more successful, thanked the Abu Dhabi government and Department of Municipalities and Transport for enabling the investor stage, and explained that day two would move from market entry routes into specific asset classes and opportunities. The central question was how energy transition assets translate into returns, capital needs, and practical investor participation in Abu Dhabi and internationally.
