Patents show trends & momentum in innovations across the #renewables sector. @IRENA's International Standards and Patents in Renewable Energy (INSPIRE) platform offers free access to a database of more than 2 mn patents & over 400 int'l standards. Explore 👉 inspire.irena.org

@WBG_Energy Energy shocks like this make the case for renewables undeniable! Countries advancing solar and storage projects now will be the ones leading tomorrow's economic recovery.

Global commodity prices are forecast to rise 16% in 2026, driven by a war-triggered energy shock, soaring fertilizer prices, and record-high metals prices. The #CMO2026 shows the ripple effects have serious implications for job creation & development. ➡️wrld.bg/U2IJ50YYWwI

@PowerShftAfrica Real progress comes from partnerships that invest in AI, sustainability, and technology transfer. Africa deserves more than summits with familiar promises.

@WBG_AgriFood Strategic investments turning vulnerability into resilience! Aquaculture bringing food security to the Sahel is a game changer for the region.

Arid landscapes and long dry seasons once made the #Sahel an unlikely place for fish farming. Today, strategic investments are transforming vulnerability into resilience. Learn about the quiet aquaculture revolution taking root across the region: wrld.bg/m3zp50YXURX

Emaar's Mohamed Alabbar is assessing up to $18B in Syria — real estate, tourism, infrastructure. Construction could start within six months. 'This is the time for somebody like me to come in.' Capital is moving as sanctions lift and Syria rebuilds.

@NEISAfrica Nuclear energy marks another leap toward Africa's sustainable growth! Strategic partnerships and innovative financing will be key to unlocking this potential. Looking forward to the outcomes!

The world is already 1 billion barrels short, because of the closure of Hormuz. 1 billion barrels. That is the arithmetic of extortion. Every day the Strait is held hostage, the costs go up... for families, farms, factories and economies around the world. Return freedom of navigation. No conditions. No delay.

@IRENA Battery storage and solar are dominating patent trends. True game changers for ensuring uninterrupted clean power!

Patent trends can help identify where momentum is building in the #energytransition. Which innovations filed the highest number of patents in recent years?

@DEWAOfficial From a local provider to a globally recognized benchmark in just three decades. Vision and innovation turning the impossible into possible!

DEWA continues to strengthen its position as a leading global utility in energy and water infrastructure. Spanning more than three decades, its integrated journey reflects a distinctive success story, evolving from a local provider into a recognised global benchmark. #DEWANews

@Built_UAE Execution over statements! Chips delivered, campuses rising, and trillions committed. This is what a true partnership of choice delivers.

The UAE-US tech partnership has moved from talk to delivery. Advanced AI chips have arrived in the UAE, with more en route. Campuses under construction, capital commitments scaling into the trillions. This is execution, not alignment.

In Zambia, electronic vouchers are transforming farming. Instead of the same fertilizer bag for everyone, smallholders now choose seeds and inputs, using mobile money at local agro-dealer. This means more choice, better yields, and stronger rural markets. wrld.bg/PJkJ50YYwve

🌍 Tomorrow, Africa's economic leadership converges on Kigali. 📆 In 24 hours, the Africa CEO Forum 2026 Annual Summit opens its doors, and 2,000 chief executives, investors, heads of state and ministers will gather under one roof to do what no other platform on the continent allows them to do: redefine the terms of African economic power in a world that has turned transactional. 🔥 Far from another talking shop, this is the room in which the new contract between African governments and the private sector is being written, structured around three strategic frames that will shape the conversation: megaprojects and infrastructure as the quintessential expression of pan-Africanism, African ownership as the catalyst for genuine intra-African investment, and productivity, technology and clean energy as the levers of the continent's next leapfrog. ⚡ The substance will be uncompromising, with eight core value chains, from energy and agriculture to finance, healthcare, digital and logistics, dissected by the operators who run them, alongside live debates on the questions African leaders have been circling for years: why banks are still not lending at the scale the continent requires, whether renewables now genuinely deliver a better return on investment than fossils, whether the start-up scene is ripe for consolidation, and where the African family offices of the next generation will emerge. 🤝 Founded by Jeune Afrique Media Group, hosted by the @RDBrwanda and co-hosted by @IFC_org the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group, the convening power is unmatched and the agenda is built squarely for action. 🚀 Tomorrow, the work begins. Kigali, 14-15 May 2026. 👉 Discover the full programme: theafricaceoforum.com/forum-2026/en/ #ACF2026 #AfricaCEOForum
