Trescon's CARE Series Unveils Global Editions Across MENA, Driving Climate Action, Clean Energy, and Sustainable Finance 10,000+ attendees, 950 investors, 225 sponsors, and 200+ global speakers are expected across the series.

In response to the urgent demand for real climate solutions and in alignment with regional sustainability ambitions, global business events and consulting firm Trescon has launched CARE – the Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo. This high-impact global summit series spans India, Dubai, and Riyadh, with the MENA edition scheduled for 26–27 November 2025 in Dubai and the KSA edition debuting on 8–9 December 2025 in Riyadh.

CARE is built for action: 10,000+ attendees, 950 investors, 225 sponsors, and 200+ global speakers are expected across the series, fostering transformative dialogue, deal-making, and partnerships across more than 100 countries. Each edition will feature high-level keynotes, policy roundtables, thought-provoking panels, and a dynamic exhibition floor showcasing next-gen climate and energy solutions.

The series kicked off with the CARE Dialogues on 24 June 2025 — an invite-only session in Dubai under the theme "Green Finance and Beyond: Driving ESG Across Sectors." Powered by Emtribe, the event convened senior leaders from finance, policy, and technology to explore practical strategies for embedding ESG into business models.

"As a partner of CARE, we're proud to back a platform that focuses on what really matters — getting the right people in the room and driving honest, outcome-focused conversations," said Mohammed Saleem, Founder of Emtribe. "There's a lot of talk in this space. CARE stands out by pushing for action that's practical, collaborative, and needed."

Regional Energy Transformation

Across the MENA region, renewable energy adoption is accelerating. Installed solar capacity reached 24 GWAC in 2024 — a 25% year-on-year increase, with projections indicating a surge past 180 GW by 2030. Over the next five years, MENA is set to add 62 GW of new renewable capacity, with countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt investing heavily in solar, wind, and green hydrogen. Expanding renewable energy to 30% of the power mix could create up to 1.2 million jobs by 2050.

In Saudi Arabia, the energy transition is a cornerstone of Vision 2030, with over $266 billion committed to renewable energy and sustainable development. The Kingdom aims to achieve 50% renewable electricity by 2030, powered by giga-projects like NEOM, expansive solar parks, and pioneering green hydrogen initiatives. CARE KSA will unite innovators and stakeholders to accelerate projects, finance mechanisms, and climate-tech solutions aligned with this bold vision.
