Informa Exhibitions, organisers of Middle East Electricity, has recently entered into a partnership with Egytec to co-organise Electricx and associated events in Cairo, Egypt, towards the end of this year. Electricx, Egypt’s leading energy and power exhibition, covers key sectors of the energy industry including power (generation, transmission and distribution), lighting, solar, renewable energy, fire, safety and security solutions, automation and smart solutions / metering. Driven by economic and population growth, demand for electricity has grown so rapidly in the MENA region that in many instances utilities have struggled to keep up. The result has been the investment of hundreds of billions of dollars in new power plants. Both events have witnessed strong growth in recent years. Middle East Electricity has grown by 10 % year on year in terms of exhibition space and visitor numbers, with a total attendance of over 50,000 for the 2014 edition. Last ye ar Electricx welcomed 32,541 trade visitors and featured 12,000 m² of exhibition space, making it the largest energy-focused event in Egypt’s exhibition calendar. The next show takes place at the Cairo International Convention Centre from December 4 to 7, 2014. (ank) www.informa.com
