PROGRAMME AT A GLANCE
SAIREC 2015 is an international conference dedicated exclusively to renewables. It is for government ministers, high-level decision makers, experts, specialists and thought leaders, as well as private sector players and civil society to discuss and exchange their vision, experiences, and solutions to accelerate the global scale-up of renewable energy.
SAIREC will provide a platform to address energy security and access. Under the RE-energising Africa, SAIREC will demonstrate why Africa is the business destination for the renewables energy sector.
SAIREC 2015 is the place to discuss the renewables value chain whether you are in business, government, a practitioner who works on improving access to clean, low carbon energy sources or someone who would like to learn more about renewable energy in general.
SAIREC 2015 also provides Africa with a unique opportunity to showcase its nascent yet promising renewable energy industry and gain experience from the best practices as adopted in countries at the forefront of renewable energy deployment.
Africa is ready to join those leading the way in the renewable energy arena be it in manufacturing, generation, distribution, or transmission sector.
