The British Ambassador to Egypt Sir Geoffrey Adams welcomed trade representatives of a number of foreign embassies in Egypt to celebrate the success of the 28th run of Electricx exhibition, the biggest energy exhibition in Egypt and Africa in an event at the British Embassy.
The power exhibition – organized by British company Informa exhibitions – aims to introduce international energy-buying companies and trade attachés to Egyptian manufacturers to empower the Egyptian energy sector and promote export opportunities in order to support local manufacturers.
The two-day exhibition hosted 75 Egyptians companies and 125 regional and international companies. Other exhibiting companies included EGEMAC, El Sewedy Industries, Opple, Chint and Huawei.
British Ambassador to Egypt Sir Geoffrey Adams said: “A sustainable economy is measured by the ability of its private sector to create jobs and export products and services abroad. I am delighted that leading British company Informa is partnering with local power manufacturers, and providing them with great networking opportunities with international markets.
Mr. Hany Khafagy, General Manager, Informa Egypt said: “Whatever market Informa operates in we are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to bring buyers and sellers together for the benefit of the countries where our events take place. Electricx benefits the Egyptian market by bringing thousands of buyers from across the country, and in the future from across the region, to meet with local companies. This is a unique opportunity for companies from this country and serves to facilitate growth in the local power market.”
