Environmental challenges and opportunities in North African and sub-Saharan countries – from climate change, recycling materials and the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies – have become major topics of debate. Supporting the region’s “green growth,” this year’s Ecomondo and Key Energy Expo has announced that it will be focusing on these concepts.

“The most comprehensive exhibition in the field of circular and renewable energy, a platform for business and research,” says IEG's CEO, Corrado Peraboni, “will, in fact, also become a veritable powerhouse for networking and exchanging opportunities between Europe and Africa.”

The Ecomondo and Key Energy 2022, organized by IEG – ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP, will be held in Italy’s Rimini Expo Center between 8th – 11th November.

The expo will include a wide range of range of conferences and seminars that will feature international, national and local institutions, public and private companies and the scientific world.

Visitors will be greeted by a solid proposal of global conferences developed by the Ecomondo and Key Energy Technical-Scientific Committees, chaired respectively by Fabio Fava and Gianni Silvestrini, at which the European Commission will also participate.

African embassies, governments and institutions will be meeting during the 2nd edition of “Africa Green Growth,” in which discussions will center around growth opportunities in the fields of “Green Hydrogen” and “Water Energy and Food Nexus. It will also include a focus on circular economy and youth entrepreneurship in Africa’s ever- increasing integration into world economy circuits.

The event will be organized by RES4Africa and the Ecomondo-Key Energy Scientific Committee with the support of ITA-Italian Trade Agency, Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and the Ministry of Ecological Transition.

“Transition towards carbon neutrality,” an event chaired by the OECD’s Bio-, Nano- and Converging Technologies (BNCT) task force, will center on the transition from fossil carbon to renewable sources, dealing with the urgent need for a global carbon management strategy for the chemical sector that would endorse the sustainable circular economy approach.

The “Water Projects Europe: Actions needed for water scarcity and drought (focus on Mediterranean),” organized with Water Europe on EU-funded projects and will be attended by representatives of the European Commission, will dedicate discussions to water shortage challenges. This will be chaired by Francesco Fatone.
