The future of energy in a new geopolitical order with Dr. Sultan Al Jaber

  • Wed, May 20, 2026 • 8:00 am ET
  • Virtual Event

AN AC FRONT PAGE EVENT—Dr. Sultan Al Jaber discusses the state of global energy markets amid geopolitical disruption—and how to achieve energy security, stability, and resilience in an era of volatility and uncertainty.

As geopolitical disruption redraws global markets, reshapes supply chains, and tests energy security, the Atlantic Council will host a virtual AC Front Page conversation with Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE minister of industry and advanced technology, managing director and group CEO of ADNOC, executive chairman of XRG, and chairman of Masdar.

In discussion with Helima Croft, among the world’s leading energy, economy, and industry strategists, Dr. Al Jaber will examine how global energy systems are adapting to a new geopolitical order, what market disruption means for investment and economic growth, and how nations can build more resilient and secure energy systems.

The conversation also will explore:

  • The UAE’s evolving energy strategy following its departure from OPEC
  • The growing convergence of energy, AI, and advanced technology
  • The US-UAE partnership in energy security, investment, and industrial growth
  • The long-term capital allocation shaping the next generation of global energy systems

At a moment when energy is no longer just about supply and demand, but also about security, intelligence, and economic competitiveness, Dr. Al Jaber will offer his perspective on one of the world’s most consequential energy transformations.
