VISITORIt was great to meet the manufactures in the industry, the workshops were very useful.
SPEAKERGulfsol has been an amazing local event, lots of stakeholders from the industry are here. For us as funders of solar projects, event’s like these are critical for the region. Rather than the more common larger events, this one really focuses in, which makes conversations very productive.
