The Crown Prince of Spain, Felipe de Borbón y Grecia has confirmed his participation in the upcoming World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi. His Royal Highness will be a keynote speaker in the Plenary welcome session on the first day of the Summit on January 18th.

H.E. Gonzalo de Benito, Ambassador of Spain in the United Arab Emirates said: “Spain represents one of the leading countries worldwide in the renewable energy industry. Spain strongly supports the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) in Abu Dhabi. We foresee a strong Spanish presence at the third edition of the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi, through the presence of H.RH. Prince Felipe, Crown Prince of Spain; together with a larger number of Spanish leading companies.”

In his role as Crown Prince he has played a very active role in the promotion of Spain's economic and commercial interests. His Royal Highness graduated from University of Georgetown (Washington DC) with a Master's degree in International Relations at the Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service.
