Bucharest becomes for one day a hub for investors in the renewable industry

On May 25, 2023, at the Palace of the Parliament, over 400 professionals, authorities with decision-making power in the energy field and companies that offer services in the field will participate in the Solar Energy Bucharest Summit, the only expo-conference in Romania that will bring together equipment manufacturers for energy production from solar sources in more than 10 countries. Companies from Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Turkey, Poland and China and integrated service providers from Romania will participate in the second edition of this event. Conceived as a networking platform for companies in the field, the Solar Energy Bucharest Summit enjoys, from 2023, the support of producer associations in Romania and the Middle East.

The event aims to bring together demand and supply on the market of energy production from renewable sources, through the presence of the most important players in the field and to moderate the discussion between professional associations, companies and authorities.

Denisa Fainis, general secretary of the association, will talk about the investment opportunities in the two markets and will analyze the business models.
