Thetis Organises Two Major Renewable-energy Events
THETIS is organising two landmark events focusing on the role of renewable energies.
- (1888PressRelease) November 19, 2013 - The first, THETIS MRE, is a convention to be held in Cherbourg (North-Western France), on 9 and 10 April 2014. The second is THETIS PACIFIC, a convention to be held in Papeete, the capital of Tahiti (French Polynesia), on 10 and 11 July 2014.
THETIS MRE is the annual European convention on marine-based forms of energy and will take place from 9 to 10 April 2014 in Cherbourg (North-Western France). THETIS MRE 2013, held in April of this year, in Brest, was a resounding success.
Cherbourg - one of the regions of Europe with the greatest potential for marine energy - has been chosen to host THETIS MRE. Organised by THETIS and devoted to marine renewable energy (MRE), THETIS MRE is an annual event of reference in the sector and across Europe.
The convention will be an opportunity to take a comprehensive look at the situation that the sector is currently in, and to emphasise the role of marine renewable energies. Turbine technologies, wave and tidal power, and floating wind power (offshore and anchored) will be at heart of the debates and presentations.
This annual event, organised by THETIS under the patronage of the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development, Transport, Housing and Energy, aims to create (or consolidate) links between contractors and manufacturers, on the one hand, researchers and universities, on the other.
The 2013 convention was attended by 2,000 participants, 170 international exhibitors and 30 speakers, and helped to set up 600 B2B meetings. Indeed, THETIS MRE 2013, last April, was a clear success: 98% of participants indicated that the convention had met or exceeded their expectations, with all of them recommending next year's event (THETIS MRE 2014).
For the first time in the constantly and rapidly changing field of renewable energy, THETIS has scheduled an event that will focus on renewable energy in the heart of Polynesia and across the Pacific. THETIS PACIFIC will take place in July 2014 in Papeete, in Tahiti (French Polynesia).
The THETIS PACIFIC convention will take the form of an exhibition area, B2B meetings, lectures and several workshops led by eminent specialists, who will highlight the considerable importance of renewable energy in tropical environments. They will also take stock of the latest technologies suited to isolated and fragmented regions: those technologies include, for example, Sea Water Air Conditioning (or SWAC), which is particularly relevant to the needs of these territories and already in the process of being used in hospitals and hotels.
The events organised by THETIS are supported by the industry's main associations and high-technology clusters.
