Cairo is hosting a two day regional forum on renewable energy. The “Supporting Startups, Innovative and Renewable Energy Companies” forum is taking place at the Electronics Research Institute in Cairo on May 10–11, 2026. The institute has organised the forum with the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organisation (ALECSO), and the Egyptian National Commission for Education, Science and Culture.
Experts, academics, and officials from Arab countries are attending as part of an interactive scientific and practical programme which they hope will interest young people and promote innovation in renewable energy.
