This year, the global networking initiative Joint Forces for Solar are starting their program with the branch meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Over 150 decision-makers and representatives from politics, the economy and research are coming together for a day-long event to explore and discuss the future market potentials for solar energy in Saudi Arabia.
On 20th of February, Joint Forces for Solar will be starting their yearly event program with the first networking event in Saudi Arabia. At the "PV Briefing & Networking Forum Saudi Arabia", local decision-makers and branch representatives will be discussing the importance of solar energy in the MENA region, and especially Saudi Arabia, with international guests. The Saudi government's plan is to increase the country's solar energy capacities to 41 gigawatts by the year 2032, say the initiators EuPD Research and Intersolar in advance of the meeting. The industrial-political and economic frameworks necessary to facilitate such an increase will be the topic of discussion during the event.
The most high-profile local partner and co-host of the briefing is the Saudi Arabia Solar Industries Association (SASIA). The founder of this organization, Browning Rockwell, will be leading a panel on the topic "Unlocking the Full Potential | Sustainable Business Cases for Saudi Arabia" in the afternoon. The initiators are also especially pleased to announce plans for the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with regards to the close cooperation of Joint Forces for Solar and SASIA as strategic partners in the region.
Alongside Markus A.W. Hoehner, CEO of EuPD Research and initiator of Joint Forces for Solar, the event will also be opened with a keynote speech by Amer Kayani, leading economic attaché of the US embassy. Governor Dr. Abdullah M. Al Shehri, chairman of the Electricity & Co-Generation Regulatory Authority will also be delivering his opinion on the current market situation in Saudi Arabia. The afternoon session will be opened with a talk on the economic and political frameworks for the solar industry in Saudi Arabia by Khaled Masri, Managing Director of Standards Associates.
A white paper by Khaled Masri entitled "Leading through standards: Modernizing Saudi Arabia’s quality infrastructure will improve competitiveness of its emerging solar industry" is available in advance exclusively on the Joint Forces for Solar website.
