“Over the years, RENWEX has established itself as an effective platform for showcasing cutting-edge developments in renewable energy and electric transport, as well as a venue for discussion and exchange of experience among leading experts from the energy industry.”
The speakers noted the importance of the RENWEX exhibition and forum. According to them, the development of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles is an unconditional priority to ensure energy security and technological sovereignty of the country in the current social and economic situation. In today’s conditions, scientific research and training of modern qualified personnel in this field are becoming increasingly in demand.
Vladimir Kononov, Deputy Chair at the Russian State Duma Committee on Science and Higher Education
“Our country now has a full range of energy technologies. The State Duma is preparing a number of bills concerning hydropower and nuclear power. These bills will, on the one hand, strengthen control in the field of safety and emergency prevention and, on the other hand, enable business to work more actively in this area.”
