At a time when sustainable energy and security of energy supply are high on the agenda at international level, this conference aims at contributing to the current debate by assessing the current state of the art and proposing ways and means to foster the contribution of renewable energy sources in the Eastern Mediterranean region. This will be an excellent opportunity for businesses and national administrations to be updated on the latest regulatory developments in the EU area and in the regions concerned. In addition, an assessment of the technology and financing options currently available will further contribute to promote investment opportunities in a region that is expected to be amongst the greatest providers of sustainable energy over the next decades.
