KSA considers long term investment opportunities in the next 25 years and is looking for best practice in both wastewater and waste treatment. Germany as globally leading country in circular economy presents itself with several companies at IFAT KSA as a strong partner for transformation to a circular economy. CE is a huge chance in the market but not least essential component protecting the #climate and significant for making states more resilient in respect to ressources.
