While most doomsday prophesies may have come to naught, there is no denying the fact that energy resources in the world are fast dwindling and that we need to think of new and improved methods to not only conserve energy but also create it. With levels of pollution and its related effects also on the rise, there is no better time than now to discuss ways of creating renewable energy. This is exactly the agenda for the Renewable Energy World Conference and Expo 2013 being held in Mumbai from May 6 to May 8, 2013. For the uninitiated, Renewable Energy World Conference and Expo India is the leading exhibition and conference of its kind for the power industry and is a big draw for companies related to the sector.
What is it all about?
With this year’s theme being Indian Power – Time to Deliver, this expo and conference provides a common platform for companies, professionals, and technical experts from the power sector to not only bring together their thoughts but also showcase latest products and technologies. With representation from over 70 countries worldwide, it is a premier event of its kind and is eagerly anticipated too.
Who should attend and why?
This event will bring to the fore relevant topics as well as projects and developments in the world. There will not only be an exhibition of products and technologies, but also conferences and power lunches where leading experts and professionals will share thoughts and processes. Some of the important topics that are expected to be covered this year include solar energy, wind energy, biomass, bio-fuel as well as other important aspects like policy, financing and marketing matters. With over 260 leading companies in the sector bringing their exhibits here, it will be a great opportunity to interact with technological experts, to understand, appreciate and source new products and technologies. It will also help to keep abreast of latest developments in the industry and create new networks. It is therefore a great opportunity for companies, professionals, experts and policy and decision makers related to the power sector.
