"More than 23,500 visitors, $230 million in export consultation, 'the largest ever'"
Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 21st that it has signed 13 export MOUs and achieved a total of $225 million in consultation results at the SWEET 2016 (Solar, Wind & Earth Energy Trade Fair), an international renewable energy exhibition held at the Kim Dae-jung Center for three days from the 16th. 55 buyers from 18 countries, including the United States, Russia, India, and China, visited Gwangju to prepare alternatives to the global warming energy crisis and to prepare a venue for domestic renewable energy companies to explore overseas markets. With the establishment and attraction of performance-oriented overseas buyer target countries with KOTRA Gwangju Jeonnam Support Group, "ELT" signed an agreement with Ethiopia's "Reideco" to export a total of $2.5 million in ESS solar power systems. In addition, 'E-Soltec', which attracted a lot of attention from overseas buyers at the exhibition with 'Energy Saving Mobile House', proved that Gwangju is a mecca for the new and renewable energy industry through 467 export consultations over three days, including signing a $1.5 million export agreement with Singapore's 'Good Hill Enterprise.'. In addition, the IWEEM Energy Efficiency International Seminar hosted by the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (Energy Valley Technology) and eight conferences involving energy officials from 247 local governments across the country were held at the same time, attracting 23,500 visitors, including 5,000 professional visitors, which had a positive ripple effect on the local economy. An official from a company that has consistently participated in SWEET said, "This event seems to be the best ever in terms of size, performance, and content," adding, "I'm looking forward to next year's event and I'll definitely participate.". |
