In 10 years’ time Dii Desert Energy has grown from a rudimentary ‘Desertec Vision’ (initially mainly concentrated on power from the deserts for Europe, ‘Desertec 1.0’) via a focus on clean energy for the region (Desertec2.0) towards a highly recognised market enabler for ‘green electrons’ and ‘green molecules’ from the deserts of MENA for MENA’s own population and eventually as a net exporter for the global emission free energy markets (Desertec 3.0).
The combined Ghorfa – Dii event will offer a unique platform for the exchange of knowledge, strategies, experience and personal networking among an international audience from the public and private sector.
