Positive results at Key Energy 2010: for four days at Rimini Fiera, energy efficiency at the centre of the attention.
The fourth edition of Key Energy International Expo on Sustainable Energy and Mobility, organized by Rimini Fiera, with the patronage of the Ministry for the Environment and Land & Sea protection ended with positive results.
The Rimini Fiera environment show, alongside which the 14th Edition of Ecomondo and the third of Cooperambiente were also held, attracted a total of 65,109 visitors (2.8% up on 2009), of whom 5,218 were from abroad (+3%).
At the opening last Wednesday, Minister Stefania Prestigiacomo took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony with statements acknowledging the Rimini Fiera event as the reference expo for the environment world.
The Minister said, “This is the expo of the Italy I hope for, the Italy of tomorrow, which highlights the current and possible green economy. The halls show that a large sector of the economy orbits round the environment and sustainable development, a rapidly expanding part of the economy. The Ministry for the Environment looks closely at this world of sustainability, implementing policies for supporting and encouraging all sectors. The Rimini expo shows that Italy is able to face this challenge as a key player.”
AT THE OPENING OF KEY ENERGY THE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY FORUM
Minister Prestigiacomo was accompanied by the Undersecretary for the Environment, Rt. Hon. Roberto Menia, who took part in the large opening event, the first International Environment and Energy Forum, entitled ”Resources and choices: our common future”, organized by The European House – Ambrosetti for CONAI Legacoop, Legambiente, Emilia-Romagna Regional Government and Rimini Fiera,
Menia announced “Among the objectives of the Government, which has already launched its own action plan, that of reaching 17% of energy from renewable sources within 2020: we are now at 8%. But there is also that of ensuring energy efficiency, simplifying procedure and developing a new intelligent network that integrates the electricity grid with the other energy sources.”
The Forum was divided into a morning plenary session and three afternoon sessions. Speaker included prestigious authoritative players on the economic and environment scene such as Jean-Paul Fitoussi (Chairman, OFCE-Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Economiques), Dipak Pant (Founder and head, Interdisciplinary Unit for Sustainable Economy), Giacomo Vaciago (Founder and scientific coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Study Unit for Sustainable Economy at the Carlo Cattaneo University (LIUC), Gian Carlo Muzzarelli (Emilia Romagna Regional Councillor for manufacturing activities), Vittorio Cogliati Dezza (Chairman, Legambiente), Giuliano Poletti (Chairman, Legacoop), Piero Perron (Chairman, CONAI).
Rimini Fiera Business Unit Manager Simone Castelli comments, “We are very satisfied with the first edition of the Forum - a format with everything it takes to become an appointment awaited throughout the year by the whole environment world, in which politics, industry and administration combine their objectives and projects to establish sustainable scenarios in a short time frame. We shall characterize the preparatory work for the 2011 edition with this slant, precisely because we want the inaugural appointment of Ecomondo, Key Energy and Cooperambiente to become concrete terrain for interaction between projects bearing in mind this meeting at Rimini Fiera.”
Sergio Mancuso, partner with The European House-Ambrosetti, was also on this same wavelength: "This first edition, which we could call zero, was important for sounding out feelings and ideas. We shall begin work in the coming weeks on the next edition, with the intent of producing on these issues contents that are innovative, precise and really useful for sustainability. Throughout the year we shall work in technical groups with periodic meetings and constant checks that will enable us to focus on topics that are increasingly important for the future of our planet."
