Nexans, a leader in the design and manufacture of cable systems and services, is organizing the 4th edition of its “Climate Day” in Morocco, in partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development of Morocco, and the Cluster ENR. Initially scheduled for September 2023, the event was postponed due to the tragic earthquake in Morocco and will now take place in Rabat on September 26, 2024. This annual gathering continues the tradition of previous editions held in New York, Paris, and Stockholm.
This summit will bring together key players from the energy sector and ecosystem experts to raise awareness of climate challenges, share experiences, and propose concrete solutions for sustainable electrification. High-profile institutional figures will also be invited to speak.
Under the theme “Sustainable Electrification for the Energy Transition: A Real Opportunity for Africa”, this edition aims to strengthen the debate on climate issues in Africa. It will strive to place sustainable development at the heart of the continent’s economic and social interests. By fostering investment opportunities in renewable energies, the event seeks to bring forth concrete solutions to support the energy transition. Nexans’ Climate Day aspires to be a dynamic summit where ideas and initiatives converge for a significant impact on Africa’s energy future.
We are honoured to host the Climate Day in Morocco, a country that, under the visionary leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, stands out for its remarkable efforts in accelerating the energy transition and promoting sustainable development. Morocco is an inspiring example for Africa and the world, demonstrating that economic growth can go hand in hand with the protection of our planet.
General Manager, Nexans North & West Africa
Morocco perfectly embodies the values of energy transition and sustainable development that we advocate, which is why we chose it as the host country of the 4th edition of our Climate Day. In a world facing ongoing crises and resource scarcity, companies have a crucial guiding role. We are therefore enthusiastic about bringing together decision-makers, experts, and renowned entrepreneurs at this event to contribute to accelerating the implementation of concrete solutions in Africa and beyond.
CEO, Nexans
The event will also be an opportunity to reward the winners of the Nexans Climate Challenge, a competition designed to encourage climate innovation by recognizing the most promising projects in this field.
