From 8^th to 11^th November, Ecomondo and Key Energy fairs took place. They both are worldwide recognised and are really important for the environmental sector: Ecomondo focuses on waste & resources, circular bioeconomy and water, while Key Energy is specialised in renewable energies, energy efficiency and e-mobility.

Our partner Environment Park participated in the fair with a virtual booth, that gave them some visibility to the projects they are part of, including AEWEN. It was also a chance to meet some members of the network and new companies that may be potentially interested in the project.

The AEWEN team managed to sign a cooperation agreement with the Technopark of Borj Cédria, an ecopark based in Tunisia. It was a great occasion to meet personally the CEO and Director of innovation and technological development of the park and to discuss about common interests.

During the fair, the team followed some events concerning renewable energy and water treatment projects, technologies and opportunities in emerging markets. They were led by the World Bank and hosted the African Development Bank (AfDB) and European Investment Bank (EIB), among others.

The first mission of the AEWEN project, to be carried out in Casablanca (Morocco), is only a short time away. If you are interested in knowing the opportunities that this country offers in the water and energy sectors, this is your chance! The mission will take place from 12^th to 14^th December 2022.

Are you joining us on this mission? You can register here until 23^rd September 2022. Places are limited to 15 companies, don’t miss the opportunity!

On 6th June 2022, the AEWEN consortium held a webinar for African and European companies interested in internationalization specifically in Morocco. More than 30 participants attended the webinar.

The first part of the webinar was dedicated to the economy, culture and commercial practices in Morocco and presented by  Faiza Hachkar from CFCIM. Takis Kakayannis from AWEX then presented political and diplomatic aspects as well as background information on relations between Europe and Morocco.

The second part of the webinar focused on the challenges and opportunities in the water sector in Morocco. Mokhtar Jaait from ONEE (water branch) presented their activity and relevant aspects from the water sector in Morocco.

In the last part of the webinar, the participants had the opportunity to learn about the challenges and opportunities in the energy sector with the participation of Amine Ahmarras from AMEE presenting the context, investment opportunities and financial mechanisms. Khalid Semmaoui from Fenelec/Amisole presented from a business perspective the evolution of the renewable energy sector in Morocco, the existing offer and the regulatory perspective.

To conclude the webinar, information on the upcoming mission to Morocco was presented.
