In 2008, Israel has decided to begin its way to energy independence. Two crucial processes have been accelerated. On the one hand, a top-down process of reducing electricity consumption aimed at energy efficiency. On the other, a bottom-up process of electricity production from renewable energy sources has been emphasized and empowered by governmental incentives and feed-in tariffs for solar and wind energy.

Moreover, other states can be regarded as developing or promising markets for PV and energy efficiency industry. Such countries like Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Jordan, Czech Republic, South Africa, Kenya and some others are of great potential.

EnergyTech is designed to stand out for its depth and diversity of content and display, and focuses on photovoltaics, solar thermal, renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. At EnergyTech you will have an outstanding opportunity to meet new potential clients and investors.

"It is not news that the US government has consistently supported Israel as its primary economic and diplomatic partner in the Middle East. But the reasons for continued investment in the region are based on more than lofty democratic and ideological similarities. American dollars sent to Israel have resulted in stable and significant returns on investment. That this economic partnership is now expanding into the field of alternative energy comes as no surprise" (Jerusalem Post).

Additional appreciation for the Israeli renewable energy market, reports Jerusalem Post, came from Deutsche Bank: ""We enthusiastically support the future growth of the Israeli renewable energy industry and very much look forward to taking an active role in its development," said Boaz Schwartz, Deutsche Bank's managing director for Israel. "I strongly believe that the combination of efficient utilization of natural resources and advanced technologies, coupled with Deutsche Bank's know-how and experience, is a win-win proposition for the renewable-energy markets here in Israel and around the world.""

This international tradeshow will be premiered on November 10-11, 2010, and is prepared to far surpass participants’ and visitors’ expectations. More than one hundred and fifty solar, wind and energy efficiency-related companies from more than 17 countries are expected to display their newest developments, products and services. About 15000 professional visitors from more than 50 states, including industry experts, technology distributors, researchers and technology developers, officials and investors will attend the event. Nearly 80 key speakers will fill the conference sessions – featuring many of the top-ranked specialists in the solar and other energy fields.

The geographical location of the exhibition – in the heart of three continents - Europe, Asia, and Africa - makes it a real international magnet for companies to expose their products and services to international customers and traders, and for buyers to create new commercial contacts in the rapidly developing markets.

In the coming years, EnergyTech will play an increasingly vital role in empowering Israel’s way to energy independence as well as international development of solar, renewables and energy efficiency industry. The increased size and stature of this tradeshow will allow its audience access to the most important players in the international market to grow their businesses and meet market demands and changes.
