ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLES
SMART CITIES
Exhibition & Conference for South-East Europe
During the past decade an essential progress in South-East Europe has been observed. However it still faces many challenges
related to the resource efficiency, high energy intensity, energy independence and security, CO2 emissions. These issues are
influenced by the choice of technologies, policy, consumption and production models.
The 11th
South-East European Forum and Exhibitions on Energy Efficiency, Renewables and Smart Cities will be held from 11 to 13
March 2015, in Sofia, Bulgaria. Taking the key role of the sustainable development into account, the event will facilitate the
technology and knowledge transfer to the Region, as well as the dialogue between all value chain players. The Exhibition is an
interaction hub for new product exposure and establishing company alliances to generate joint business projects.
Funding mechanisms and good examples will be among the highlights in the Conference program in which keynote speakers
from European institutions and organizations will take part.
The EU is preparing to adopt the targets for the period up to 2030 - reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40%, increasing the
share of renewable energy to at least 27%, continued improvements in energy efficiency. Through integrated solutions,
decision-makers are 'smartening up' the European cities and the accent is put on mobility, built environment, information and
communication technologies.
The opportunities and perspectives of the SE European market South-East Europe has a great potential for a
diversification of energy mix by utilization of renewable energy sources. The CO2 reduction in transport sector is the other priority
issue and replacement of the fossil fuels with alternative low-carbon fuels is sought. In terms of e-mobility, the Region is at its early
stage and governments are going to stimulate this emerging industry. The countries are developing zero-energy building
strategies and applying different energy conservation measures. During the last years there is a growth in the number of new
buildings with better energy efficient characteristics.
