The 16th World Energy Summit on Future Energy in Abu Dhabi kicked off with the Gulf's stormy rains, the worst in the last century in the Arab Emirates, serving as an urgent reminder of the need for immediate action on climate.

The World Energy Summit #WFES, which took place from 16-18 April, at the National Exhibition Centre of Abu Dhabi, was attended by the Nanotechnologies & Organic Electronics Ecosystem, OET-Organic ElectronicTechnologies P.C, the COPE-Nano Nanotechnology Lab LTFN Centre of Excellence and the HellenicOrganic & Printed Electronics Association HOPE-A.

"We believe in the power of bringing together diverse voices to promote dialogue, knowledge sharing and creative problem-solving. Fora such as the Global Future of Energy Summit offer critical opportunities for stakeholders from different sectors to exchange views, sparking ideas and collective action," Shekha Shamma, President and CEO of the Independent Authority for Sustainability and Climate Change (UAE-UICCA), among other speakers, said, welcoming representatives from the world's leading companies, institutions and organisations from 150 countries to the event.

Probably there could not be a better time for the international community to turn its attention to European Energy Innovation, of which Greece and Thessaloniki is an important milestone.

The revolutionary green industry of organic electronics and 3rd generation photovoltaics is the European “answer” to the phenomenon of climate change and climate neutrality of the economy. Their use ensures green environmentally friendly energy and their applications ensure high aesthetic energy in buildings and smart cities. Third (3rd) generation photovoltaics are lightweight, transparent, can be mounted on any surface and are produced at low cost and with conservation of natural resources. Applications of organic photovoltaics in open crops and greenhouses save and store energy, water, and use of arable land.

This striking new innovation that offers energy autonomy, user and environmentally friendly energy and creates new innovative products was presented at the OET booth during WFES from 16-18 April in Abu Dhabi and impressed the international audience.

During the World Future Energy Summit, and subsequently in Dubai, the founder of the Nanotechnology and Organic Electronics Ecosystem, President of OET and HOPE-A Association Professor Stergios Logothetidis had a series of contacts with company representatives, companies, businesses, organisations, politicians and opinion makers, explaining among others the possibilities and benefits of the installation of the Giga-Factories of mass production of translucent organic photovoltaic systems created by the European project Flex2Energy.

As Mr.Logothetidis pointed out, the first automated Nano-Factory for printing optoelectronic devices and the 3rd generation transparent photovoltaics revolutionise the Green Industry and Green Energy sector with the services and applications they develop and "answer" the challenge for cheap green energy, saving natural resources, mitigating the effects of climate change, saving water and arable land. When the assembly line and factory being built by OET as part of Flex2Energy is completed, it will produce more than 1,000,000 m2 of organic photovoltaic panels per year.

The nano-factory or other similar factories will have the potential to produce optoelectronic devices such as nano-sensors & biosensors for medical applications, organic LEDs for lighting, organic transistors, etc. Flex2Energy coordinated by OET is building a world first automated mass manufacturing plant for mass production of organic electronics. In the achievement of this goal, in which Greece plays a key role, OET collaborates with five other Greek institutions (LTFN Nanotechnology Laboratory, Alumil, Kyriakidis Glass, Depia, HOPE-A) and gradually makes Europe energy independent, providing revolutionary solutions in the direction of Sustainable Development and the Circular Economy since organic photovoltaics are the most recyclable and environmentally friendly.
