About Us

The Majan Council for Foresight, Strategic Affairs, and Energy (formerly the Majan Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, MCREEE) stands out as the Gulf's first Think and Do Tank, uniquely bridging cutting-edge applied research with practical decision-support and project implementation for policymakers and business leaders.
