“The Arab energy transition can only be achieved by encouraging scientific research and innovation,” Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) president Issa bin Hilal al-Kuwari said Sunday.

He was delivering the opening speech at the seventh International Investment Forum for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Mena in Amman.

The three-day forum is held under the slogan "Renewable Energy and Innovative Agricultural Patterns to Achieve Food Security ''.

A statement from Kahramaa said the participants will discuss many important and strategic topics in many areas related to renewable energy technology, innovation in agriculture, smart cities, green hydrogen and sustainability issues.

In his opening speech al-Kuwari said one of the most important challenges facing energy transition and sustainable development in the Arab world is the need to provide the necessary infrastructure and complete the electrical connection between Arab countries. He pointed out this is part of the Arab economic integration project that serves Arab societies and governments as a whole.
