ACCIONA will have a strong presence in the forum with a stand where it will present its activities and offer a networking space for participants in the event. Their Booth number will be B2 – 09.

During her intervention, Ms Ferrer will explain how to create an innovative layout for a seawater desalination plant that uses resources very efficiently.
