The Premier Forum for Networking & Debate Find Solutions • Meet New Partners • Do Business
29th March 2011
I am delighted to announce that SWPF 2011 will be taking place in Jeddah from 4-6 December.
Given the significance of this major international Forum for Saudi Arabia’s power and water sectors it is my pleasure to give SWPF my full support once again.
As we work towards ensuring the Kingdom’s future role as global leader in power, water and renewables, the Forum will address the key issues facing the industry. We will look
at how to push the boundaries and add value through innovation and cooperation, and
how the sector can support the transformation to a knowledge-based economy. The programme will include particular focus on the opportunities for partnership and growth. SWPF includes the international exhibition, which offers companies a platform to
showcase their products, services and expertise to the most influential decision-makers, buyers and users assembled under one roof.
I look forward to another successful Forum and to welcoming you to Jeddah for some outstanding debate and exceptional networking.
Abdullah Al Hussayen Minister of Water & Electricity Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
