I am delighted to invite you to join me at MIREC WEEK 2016, where we are very excited to be celebrating our 5th Anniversary of delivering Mexico’s leading clean energy congress.
It is an exciting time to be a part of Mexico’s renewable energy industry, after the Senate passed the Energy Transition Law and now the government is set to hold its first ever clean energy auctions in early 2016, perfectly positioning MIREC WEEK as the ideal event to understand the opportunities that lay ahead.
Focused on business and attracting the biggest decision-makers and stakeholders in Mexico’s rapidly evolving clean energy landscape, the aim of this congress is to promote and establish strong relationships across the entire renewable energy value chain.
Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge that you need to make informed business decisions, and the networking opportunities to fulfil your ambitions and meet the right people from leading developers, global investors, power offtakers and government policymakers.
I urge you to take advantage of all that MIREC WEEK has to offer, from an incredible AWARDS night to VIP dinners, insightful panel sessions, exciting technology updates and brand new networking tools.
I very much look forward to welcoming you personally in Mexico City this May!
Best wishes,
