Data from the Global Investment Summit, scheduled in Paris from September 1 to 2, 2026, revealed an expected growth of approximately 120% in total domestic investment in the renewable energy and hydrogen sector by 2030.

The data showed a rise in investment volume in the sector from $48.4 billion in 2023 to $106.4 billion in 2030, a difference of $58 billion over seven years.

This growth positions renewable energy and hydrogen among the fastest expanding target sectors, driven by increasing global demand for clean energy sources, accelerated development of production, storage, and transport technologies, and capital flows toward projects related to emission reduction and sustainability.

The summit aims to turn this expected growth into actionable investment opportunities by bringing together funds, financial institutions, and specialized companies with government entities and developers to build partnerships in solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen, and related infrastructure projects.

The summit targets directing 25% of investments toward modern technologies and adopting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards in 55% of targeted projects, thereby enhancing the energy sector's ability to attract long-term institutional investments.

Summit indicators point to expected European investment flows toward Gulf Cooperation Council countries worth $28.59 billion, along with the development of 15 joint projects and the establishment of 8 new strategic partnerships within the first year, opening broader avenues for cooperation in clean energy and hydrogen technologies.

The summit attracts over 2,000 participants and 100 speakers, with a program featuring 10 main sessions, 16 workshops, and more than 40 bilateral meetings, within a platform aimed at turning investment dialogues into fundable and executable projects and agreements.
