– What are you doing and why? RENEXPO Portugal will be an integrated and complete event, covering all topics regarding Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency.

– What makes you so special? RENEXPO Portugal covers all the topics regarding Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency, being therefore a complete event. Moreover, it encompasses, in a single place, a trade fair and a series of international conferences. It is, therefore, an integrated event, being simultaneously a meeting point between the players within the sector and a place for spreading information and for debating these important matters. On the other hand, RENEXPO Portugal features a series of innovative services and events, which add value to this project.

 

The turning point

– How did you start? RENEXPO Portugal is a concept which already has a history in some European countries. Portugal, due to its natural, economic and political characteristics, is an excellent place to invest in Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency – that is why the REECO Group expanded in South West Europe.

– What keeps you going every day? Knowing that our work is very much appreciated by the players working in the sector – we keep being congratulated for our project and our work, which is something highly rewarding.

– Who is your target? Every player working in the sector – companies, investors, associations, experts, universities, research centres, public organisations, authorities, etc.

– How are you financed? For the “kick-off”, we relied on the financing by our mother-company, REECO GmbH & Co. KG, based in Germany.

 

The challenge

– A proud moment? Lots of proud moments – when my team is congratulated for the work we have been developing.

– A problem you face? Well, after the world crisis that we have experienced in 2008 and 2009, the economic environment still isn’t the best.

– Your personal motto when things get hard? Put things in perspective – what really matters at the end of the day?
