« WORLD POWER-TO-X SUMMIT 2023 »
The World Power-to-X Summit, the must-attend event for renewable energy players in the production of green
hydrogen and its applications, returns for its third edition from September 19 to 20, 2023 in Marrakech.
Under the high patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him and the aegis of the Ministry
of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development of the Kingdom of Morocco, this new edition is organized by
the Research Institute in Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), the GreenH2 Cluster, Mohammed VI
Polytechnic University (UM6P), in partnership with the Regional Council of Guelmim Oued Noun and Industrie du
Maroc Magazine.
The World Power-to-X Summit is a leading platform to catalyze regional and international dialogue around the
opportunities and challenges of the industrial, logistical, and technological value chain of green hydrogen as
well as its applications. In this perspective, the holding of this third edition is of particular importance, in a context
of global energy crisis, exacerbated by tensions and accelerated geopolitical reorganizations. On the national
level, this takes on a significant dimension thanks to the dynamism driven by His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
may God assist him, who issued High Instructions to deploy an operational and incentive “Morocco Offer” for
Green Hydrogen. This ambitious initiative aims to position Morocco as a regional leader and African hub in the
field of hydrogen, relying on its natural assets, its national strategy, and its strong international partnerships.
Building on the success of the second edition, which brought together more than 500 participants, 90 speakers
representing 31 countries during 9 panels and 3 bilateral meetings, this year’s event promises to be even more
ambitious with 1000 participants expected, 170 expert speakers, 35 sessions and 5 side events. Thus, this year’s
summit offers a comprehensive program, including plenary sessions, parallel sessions, and unique and
enriching masterclasses. This program will allow to deepen the understanding of the various aspects of the
power-to-x value chain, such as production, conversion, storage, distribution, and use, without neglecting the
regulatory and financial aspects and those related to infrastructure. In addition, the exhibition aspect will be
reinforced, highlighting the key players who will present the latest innovations and solutions in the field of green
energy. Stimulating networking sessions will facilitate the creation of relationships with experts and influential
decision-makers in the industry.
Moreover, and in a difficult context, marked by the tragic earthquake that shook Morocco on Friday September
8th, causing considerable human and material damage, the organizers of the World Power-to-X Summit wish
first to express their deep condolences to the families of the victims, their wishes for recovery to the injured and
their solidarity with all those who have been affected by this natural disaster. They believe in the resilience and
strength of the Moroccan people in facing this unprecedented challenge. It is in this spirit of solidarity and
generosity that they have decided to maintain the event, convinced that it can contribute to support the
recovery and reconstruction efforts, as well as the continuation of economic activity that is vital for local
communities. This event is not only an opportunity to highlight the role of Power-To-X solutions for a sustainable
future, but also a platform to express solidarity and generosity.
