Now in its 5th edition, the GCC Environment Forum (GEF) has grown in popularity and prestige over the years to assert its position as Saudi Arabia’s flagship environmental event.
We are pleased to announce the 2015 event will be held under the patronage of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and under the initiative of the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment.
Over the last few years, Saudi Arabia has started to operate a huge transition towards a more sustainable economy and society. GEF combines an international exhibition and strategic conference that serves to aid this process by bringing together business experts, technology providers and high profile decision makers from the public and private sector for three days of networking and learning.
Exhibitors and sponsors will be displaying their latest products and services and companies include; The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, GEMS, SEPCO, Saudi 3M, EDCO, Greentech Saudi, Gulf Advanced Control Systems, Huta Environment Group of Companies, Veolia and many more
The GEF Conference is without question Saudi Arabia’s leading platform to discuss environmental issues, legislation and strategy with some of the world’s most powerful executives.
In each edition, the conference focuses across a number of themes that are applied across multiple industries with the shared view of encouraging the continued development of the environment sector in the Kingdom and the GCC as a whole.
