Acciona takes water expertise to the Saudi-Spanish investment forum
ACCIONA, the leading water
contractor in Saudi Arabia, attended the Saudi-Spanish Investment forum in
Riyadh on June 5th and reiterated its commitment to provide new sources of safe
drinking water to increase the country’s water security.
Julio de la Rosa, Business
Development Director for ACCIONA Water solutions in the Middle East, took part
in a panel discussion on “Water Management and Infrastructure”, in which he
highlighted ACCIONA’s capabilities to advance the country’s Vision 2030 goal of
creating a vibrant, more diversified and more sustainable economy and society.
The Saudi-Spanish investment
forum, organized by the Saudi Ministry of Investment, discussed how to share knowledge,
and contribute to the Kingdom’s economic diversification plans. The event was attended by Spain’s Minister
for Industry, Trade and Tourism, María Reyes Maroto, by the Saudi Minister of
Investment, Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al-Falih, Minister of Tourism, Ahmed Bin Aqil
al-Khatib and the Minister of Commerce, Majid bin Abdullah Alkassabi.
The forum concluded that Spanish
water and utilities companies can help the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 programs and
goals since both share the challenge of providing quality water to the
population while working on an environment of limited natural resources to do
so.
