Green Middle East to offer new benchmark for sustainable development

Green Middle East, which was started as the region’s leading environmental management and technology exhibition and conference, is offering a new benchmark for sustainable development initiatives in the region. 

In its new format, Green Middle East, to be held at Expo Centre Sharjah from 16 to 19 December 2015, is set to become the only focused green event in Middle East with key Sharjah government entities joining hands to make a greater impact in the country and the region.

 

“This is going to be one of the biggest green initiatives in the region. I am proud to note that Bee’ah, Sharjah Electricity & Water Authority, Sharjah Municipality, University and Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry have all come together to give the Green Middle East a new form, meaning and direction from this year onwards,” said Mr. Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Owais, Chairman, Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

 

Green Middle East 2015 will continue to have the patronage of His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah. It will also boost the UAE’s initiative to build a green economy, and facilitate export and re-export of green products and technologies and maintain a sustainable environment to support economic growth, according to Mr. Al Owais.

 

The press conference on April 6 announced the details of the new initiative at Expo Centre Sharjah. The press conference was also addressed by Mr. Saif Mohammed Al Midfa, CEO of Expo Centre Sharjah; Dr. Eng. Rashid Obaid Juma Al Leem Chairman of Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA), Eng. Hassan Al Taffaq, Assistant Director-General for Agriculture and Environment from Sharjah Municipality, Mr. Khalid Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee’ah, and Prof. Dr. Sabah Al Kass, Dean of College of Engineering, University of Sharjah.

Green Middle East 2015 will be organised by Expo Centre Sharjah and hosted by Bee’ah from December 16 - 19, 2015.
