I took Thursday off from work to go to Abu Dhabi, get some formalities done and take the chance to visit the World Future Energy Summit. Parking at ADNEC was convenient, entrance for visitors was free and the registration process quick and easy. It was the closing day and not really as full as I expected it to be. The first thing that caught my eye was the display of Masdar’s PRT vehicle. It was presented on last years summit as well, but at that time I was still in Germany. Now after working for so many months on the PRT simulation, I was very excited to see it in real and sit inside.

Then I visited my colleagues from Masdar Institute and asked how their studies and projects are progressing. We also met our friend Aminu from Dubai. It was the last day of the summit and we went to the closing ceremony. Speeches were given by Prince Albert from Monaco and the President of Iceland, but nothing much exciting.But at least I’ve seen the PRT vehicle and spoke to my friends, so worth the visit in Abu Dhabi.
