GE and UICCA agree to accelerate energy transition and advance innovative climate solutions

GE signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) to collaborate across three broad actionable pillars and build the momentum around climate action in the UAE and beyond. The agreement focuses on three key pillars namely, Youth & Diversity, Innovation & Technology, and Policy Collaboration.

Under the framework of the newly signed agreement, GE and UICCA, a think tank and accelerator focused on driving the transition to a green economy, will work together to accelerate energy transition efforts by empowering the nation’s youth, fostering impactful technology innovations, and harnessing the potential of policy advocacy to drive sustainable development solutions across the energy ecosystem. 

To help build critical climate infrastructure, the two entities will lead joint efforts in research to develop and promote breakthrough technologies that have the potential to be deployed at scale in the region and beyond. Under the third pillar, GE and UICCA will help accelerate the energy transition by collaborating with stakeholders in government, research centres, think tanks, and independent organizations to develop and advocate informed policy recommendations that support climate solutions.
