Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Masdar, stated: 'We are stepping into a new world because the concepts of progress have changed radically, not gradually.' In his opening speech at the World Future Energy Summit, Dr. Al Jaber said: 'For over 200 years, economic growth was measured by the size of industrial capabilities. Today, for the first time in history, it is measured by computing capabilities and digital potential. Artificial intelligence is reshaping the structure of industries and sectors and how they operate, opening new horizons for global growth. Amid the multiple variables the world is witnessing, the only constant remains the need for energy.'
