Advisors: Dr. Alex Rialp Prof. Joaquim Vergés Barcelona November 2016 1 Abstract The demand for energy is increasing over time because of the rapid expansion of the global economy and population growth. However, conventional energy systems based on fossil fuels are not only an unreliable source of energy for the future but also cause a range of environmental consequences, including acidification, air pollution, global climate change, etc. Energy-based economic development (EBED) (Carley, Lawrence, Brown, Nourafshan, & Benami, 2011) and sustainable development (SD) (Hopwood, Mellor, & O’Brien, 2005) will consequently require a new source of energy based on renewable energies, which are more accessible, environmentally friendly, secure, and efficient. To address challenges associated with fossil fuels and fostering sustainable development, recent progress in the field of entrepreneurship has shown increased interest in sustainability issues and environmentally friendly technological development. -

Doing Business in the United Arab Emirates
DOING BUSINESS IN THE UAE Dubai, © Sophie James DOING BUSINESS IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES Abu Dhabi, © Philip Lange DOING BUSINESS IN THE UAE INTRODUCTION Since the discovery of oil in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) more than 40 years ago, the country has undergone a profound transformation to a modern state with a high standard of living. This growth was for a large extent driven by income from oil and gas resources. Today the UAE is more than an economy based on oil and gas. Successful efforts at economic diversification in trade, logistics, banking, tourism, real estate and manufacturing have sig- nificantly reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and gas output. The diversified growth environment that is being created in the UAE provides abundant business opportunities. The UAE’s liberal climate towards foreign cooperation, investment and modernisation has prompted extensive diplomatic and commercial relations with other countries. With its prime geographical location at the crossroads of the major Western and Eastern economies, its established and efficient air and sea connections and developed infrastructure, the UAE is an exciting prospect for any business looking to establish a foothold, or expand, in the MENA region or wider Africa and Asia. In 2012, mutual trade between the Netherlands and the UAE was worth more than 3,2 billion euros according to figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Total trade between the Neth- erlands and the Gulf region (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain) was worth over 14 billion euros. While the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the Netherlands’ biggest trading partner in the Gulf region (6.9 billion euros), the UAE is the largest export market (nearly 2.4 billion euros). -
