Rimini, 3rd November 2022 - 600 top buyers from 90 countries, including North Africa, Sub Saharan Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, Latin America, Canada and the United States, more than 80 associations and 30 foreign delegations. The 2022 editions of Ecomondo and Key Energy (8th . 11th November at Rimini Expo Centre) will be the most international ever thanks to the solid collaboration with ITA (Italian Trade Agency) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

At the trade shows organised by Italian Exhibition Group, a reference point for green technologies and renewables in Europe and the Mediterranean basin, over 300 professional operators have already scheduled business and networking meetings with exhibiting companies on MyAgenda by IEG.
A completely sold-out edition that will kick off on Tuesday 8th November and will feature the highest concentration of international appointments with one event in every six shared by the European Commission or its executive guests.

Spread over more than 130,000 square metres at Rimini Expo Centre, the two events will represent the main pillars of the green economy: the circular (bio)economy, waste and wastewater management and valorisation, soil and sea regeneration, sustainable blue growth and hydrogeological risk, together with solutions and technologies in the field of solar power and storage systems, onshore and offshore wind power, energy efficiency in industry and buildings and a focus on sustainable cities and electric mobility.
On the international front and as part of its strategy to expand into high-potential markets, at 9.45 on the morning of 9th November, in the ´Innovation Arena´, Ecomondo will be staging a focus on the green opportunities in Mexico, the country where the second edition of Ecomondo Mexico (Guadalajara, 26th . 28th April 2023) will be held, and an in-depth look at the topic in Canada.
For the second edition of the Africa Green Growth forum on the theme of the water-energy-food-production link, as well as the current topic of green hydrogen, a large number of professional operators from Kenya, Botswana, Ethiopia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Cuba and Peru have confirmed their participation, thanks to the fruitful collaboration with UNIDO-United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, the Italian Trade Agency for the promotion and internationalisation of Italian companies abroad, and Mida Group. The forum is organised in collaboration with ITA, Res4Africa, Business Council for Africa and IRENA.

Various institutional representatives from the African continent will be attending, including the Governor of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development of the Ivory Coast, the Federal Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation of Ghana, the Ministry of Energy of Kenya and the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development of Morocco.
