[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The "17th International Green Energy Expo," where the latest technologies in renewable energy, the core of the government's recently announced Green New Deal policy, can be viewed in one place, will be held from the 15th to the 17th at Daegu EXCO.

The International Green Energy Expo has established itself as one of the world's top 10 renewable energy specialized exhibitions, continuously growing since its first domestic event in 2004. According to Daegu City, it is preparing to leap to become one of the world's top 5 exhibitions with the opening of EXCO's second exhibition hall in February next year.

This year's event, originally scheduled for April but postponed, will feature 140 key companies from 26 countries showcasing innovative technologies and new products in the new and renewable energy sectors across 500 booths.

Among the world's top 10 solar cell and solar panel (module) companies, seven companies including Hanwha Q CELLS (world's No.1 in cells), Jinko (world No.4 in cells, No.2 in modules), and JA Solar (world No.3 in cells, No.5 in modules) will participate. Additionally, major global solar inverter companies such as Huawei (world No.1 in inverters), Sungrow (world No.2 in inverters), and Fronius (world No.5 in inverters) will also participate to showcase their differentiated products and technologies.

During the exhibition, 11 programs including the "2020 Photovoltaic Market Insight" (PVMI) and the "2020 Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Forum" will be held. PVMI, a professional conference that forecasts global solar trends and analyzes the solar market, will take place over two days on the 15th and 16th.

Also, the "Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Forum," which invites domestic experts from academia, industry, and research institutes in the fuel cell and hydrogen energy fields to review related technologies, policies, and industry trends, will be held on the 16th.

Hong Eui-rak, Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of Daegu City, stated, "I hope this expo will be a valuable opportunity for all participating companies and institutions during these difficult times to gauge the development direction of the renewable energy industry related to the government's Green New Deal policy, and to seek new avenues in the post-COVID-19 era through networking and information sharing among participating companies and institutions."
