The World PtX Summit is organized in a joint effort between the Moroccan Research Institute for Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN) and the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), aiming towards the creation of a regional platform, dedicated to Green Hydrogen and its applications within the whole “Power-To-X” (PtX) economy.
This platform will trigger high-level discussions and partnerships for a new clean energy era, enabled by the Green Hydrogen opportunities
Therefore, the World Power-to-X Summit 2021 will be a must-attend event for policy-makers, industry leaders, research experts and global innovators to discuss PtX in depth in a variety of high-level panels and sessions.
The World Power-to-X Summit 2021 panels and sessions promises to gather to best technical experts, renown researches and official representatives in the field off power-to-X around the world. Do not miss the opportunity to meet and interact with them during our event.
The World Power-to-X Summit 2020 program provided a unique opportunity for participants to learn more about the latest developments impacting the Power-to-X sector.
Patricipating to these sessions is essential if you are looking to implement next-generation innovations based on green hydrogen within your projects and stay abreast of the transformative Power-to-X technologies that will impact your industry.
