This participation underscores the Ministry’s commitment to the transition towards sustainable energy and the development of an integrated smart infrastructure. The exhibition is recognised as a leading regional platform for fostering cooperation, exchanging expertise, and attracting investments in the energy sector.

His Excellency Eng.
