Transformative agreement represents major delta in bilateral trade and investment
Global CMX, a leading facilitator of cross-border investments in sustainable energy and resources, characterizes the recent UAE-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) as a transformative force driving unprecedented industry progress.
Ratified in October 2025, CEPA is poised to unlock billions in new deals across renewables, green fuels, green metals, and hydrogen sectors, with major announcements kicking off at the World Future Energy Summit 2026, hosted by Masdar and part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, from 13-15 January at the ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi.
The agreement represents a major delta in bilateral trade and investment, eliminating tariffs, streamlining regulations, and fostering deeper collaboration between the two nations.
Net zero ambitions
By reducing barriers and enhancing market access, CEPA is accelerating the flow of capital and technology, enabling scalable projects that align with global net-zero ambitions. Industry experts anticipate a surge in activity throughout 2026, starting with high-profile unveilings at the Summit, where stakeholders from both countries will converge to showcase innovative partnerships.
“At Global CMX, we’re committed to bridging these opportunities, and we look forward to contributing as speakers and delegates at the World Future Energy Summit 2026 to drive these announcements forward,” asserted Trevor Ducharme, President, Global CMX.
“We are excited to once again welcome Global CMX to Abu Dhabi and provide them a platform to reach regional and international industry, government and media stakeholders,” commented Gareth Rapley, Portfolio Director, Energy and Marine, RX Global.
