Abu Dhabi is an oil powerhouse, but it also wants to be a climate tech hub

Abu Dhabi is using some of its wealth to support startups working on climate crisis solutions. The Hub71 tech ecosystem recently launched a program to support decarbonization technologies, with a focus on sectors like energy and aquaculture. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and has invested billions of dollars in renewable energy projects and carbon reduction technologies. While Abu Dhabi remains dependent on oil production, it is also planning for a sustainable and diversified economy. The city is emerging as a leading tech cluster for climate technology in the region.
