Program
The forum will bring together a panel of high level experts coordinated by a moderator. The speakers will be selected among prominent CEOs of relevant Utilities and Companies, IEEE members of executive boards, EU officers, regulators, technical directors of relevant companies, Ministry and local communities organizations, academia, Standard associations, business organizations, etc. and expected to give presentations along with feedback experience to the attendees whom will, in turn, have the opportunity to offer contributions and to ask questions through fruitful debates.
