Following the high-level delegation led by the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) to Paris in May 2025, CCI France UAE facilitates execution-phase exchanges.

The UAE France Energy Forum Powering Tomorrow Together co organise by Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) and CCI France UAE is designed to reflect the evolving realities of the global energy sector while reinforcing the complementary strengths of the UAE and France.
The structure follows a deliberate progression from technology and infrastructure to resilience, industrial transformation, and investment realities.

The agenda also reflects key strategic priorities identified during preparatory discussions:

the growing importance of energy storage and grid resilience,
the evolving role of nuclear energy,
the continued centrality of oil & gas,
and the need to approach the transition through a pragmatic and industrial lens rather than an ideological one.
