In response to the urgent demand for real climate solutions, Trescon introduces CARE – the Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo. Launching this September in India, the global summit series is built for action: 10,000+ attendees, 950 investors, 225 sponsors, and 200+ global speakers driving deals, partnerships, and scalable impact across clean energy, climate tech, and finance.
The MENA edition of CARE is scheduled for 26-27 Nov 2025 in Dubai, while the KSA edition will take place on 8-9 Dec 2025 in Riyadh.
The series kicked off with the CARE Dialogues on 24 June 2025 – an exclusive, invite-only session, held in Dubai under the theme “Green Finance and Beyond: Driving ESG Across Sectors.” Powered by Emtribe, the event convened senior leaders from finance, policy, and technology to explore practical strategies for embedding ESG into core business models.
“As a partner of CARE, we’re proud to back a platform that focuses on what really matters — getting the right people in the room and driving honest, outcome-focused conversations,” said Mohammed Saleem, Founder of Emtribe. He continued, “There’s a lot of talk in this space. CARE stands out by pushing for action that’s practical, collaborative, and needed.”
As the first official prelude to CARE, the session set the tone for cross-sector collaboration and is helping shape a summit agenda grounded in real-world priorities and regional relevance.
The timing couldn’t be more urgent. Across the Middle East and North Africa, demand for clean energy is accelerating. As per Economy Middle East, the region’s installed solar capacity reached 24 GWAC in 2024 — a 25% year-on-year increase, with projections showing this could surge past 180 GW by 2030. Over the next five years, MENA is expected to add another 62 GW of new renewable capacity (Middle East Solar Industry Association). Countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt are investing heavily in solar, wind, and green hydrogen, signalling a decisive shift in national energy strategies. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, expanding renewable energy to 30% of the power mix in key MENA economies could create up to 1.2 million jobs by 2050. The region is not just setting targets; it’s laying the groundwork for a deep energy transformation.
CARE is crafted to channel the global surge in climate action. This transformative summit unites policymakers, project developers, investors, utilities, and technology innovators across sectors like solar, wind, green hydrogen, water, climate finance, grid infrastructure, and carbon markets. Spanning editions in India, Dubai, and Riyadh, it delivers high-level keynotes, thought-provoking panel discussions, exclusive executive roundtables, and a vibrant exhibition spotlighting cutting-edge climate and clean energy solutions.
Speaking about CARE, Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO of Trescon said, “CARE is built to do one thing well: move climate ambition into commercial reality. By bringing together stakeholders from policy, finance, and technology under one roof, it creates the right environment to surface big ideas, secure investment, and turn solutions into large-scale projects.”
CARE is supported by the Global CARE Alliance, an advisory board of sustainability experts and climate-tech leaders. The Alliance features industry pioneers and policy veterans including:
- Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi (former Minister of Climate Change & Environment, UAE)
- Dunston P, CEO at The Royal Office of HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Faisal Al Qassimi / Governing Council Member at UNFCCC, UAE
- Ioannis Spanos, Vice President – Sustainability, Expo City Dubai, UAE
- Maher Al Kaabi, Executive Committee Member, UAEIIC & Council Member, UAE Circular Economy Council
- Erik Solheim, Former Minister of Environment, & Former Under Secretary General, UNEP, Norway
- Julie Newman, Director of Sustainability, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, and others
Their combined expertise anchors CARE in real-world climate leadership, helping transform high-level dialogue into concrete action, investment, and global impact.
Each edition will also host the ClimateTech World Cup — a global pitch competition spotlighting early-stage innovations in renewable energy, carbon capture, climate adaptation, sustainable water solutions, and circular economy.
As Gulf nations ramp up net-zero strategies and renewable investment, CARE serves as a critical platform to move from ambition to action — linking capital with climate solutions and scaling the technologies shaping the region’s sustainable future.
