He described the meeting as fruitful in laying the foundations for the future of the project. It also highlighted the intention of the project’s administration to benefit from the best ideas from sustainability experts, leaders of the sector and thought pioneers around the world.

He said that the meeting reviewed a number of points on sustainability and also examples of new manufacturing techniques, in addition to the world’s first management and operation system that is 100 percent dependent on renewable energy.
