Rabat – Industrie du Maroc Magazine will be hosting the “International Industry Energy Forum,” a hybrid event combining virtual seminars with in-person business-to-business (B2B) opportunities, on July 27.
The first iteration of the event will take place in Casablanca, centered on the theme of “Decarbonization, what opportunities for Moroccan industry?” The event will cover six main topics, including decarbonization, the energy needs of the Moroccan industry, Research and Development, innovation, and investment. The event is expected to include 15 speakers, 20 partnering organizations, and over 600 participants.
As efforts to achieve decarbonization become more prominent in various global industries, companies must learn to adapt their energy resources to avoid being penalized by a carbon tax, notes Industrie du Maroc. The event, led by national and international experts, will include both panels and debates addressing the obstacles associated with decarbonization and the emergence of renewable energies.
