Last year, 150 exhibitors and company representatives and more then 6,000 visitors from 19 countries, 20 percent more then in 2015, participated and visited two fairs.

Conferences and debates are also important part of the fairs presenting an opportunity to discuss the most relevant issues in the filed of energy and environment for Serbia but also for the broader region, and to learn about various expert analysis.
