CARE KSA to Unlock US$266 Billion Clean Energy Potential

In response to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious clean energy and sustainability vision — and the global urgency for climate solutions — Trescon proudly unveils the KSA edition of CARE: the Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo, debuting in Riyadh on 8–9 December 2025.

As a cornerstone of the global CARE series, alongside editions in India and Dubai, the KSA edition is dedicated to advancing climate action, clean energy adoption, and sustainable finance through meaningful public-private collaboration. With over 10,000 attendees, 950 investors, 225 sponsors, and 200+ global speakers expected across the series, CARE is designed for action — driving transformative dialogue, deal-making, and cross-border partnerships spanning more than 100 countries.

The series commenced with the CARE Dialogues on 24 June 2025 — an exclusive, invite-only gathering held in Dubai under the theme ‘Green Finance and Beyond: Driving ESG Across Sectors’. Powered by Emtribe, the event brought together 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 truly matters — getting the right people in the room and driving honest, outcome-focused conversations,” stated Mohammed Saleem, Founder of Emtribe. He added: “There’s a lot of talk in this space. CARE stands out by pushing for action that’s practical, collaborative, and necessary.”

As the first official prelude to CARE, the session set the tone for cross-sector collaboration and is actively helping shape a summit agenda grounded in real-world priorities and regional relevance.

Saudi Arabia is leading a transformative energy shift. Under Vision 2030, the Kingdom has committed over US$266 billion to renewable energy and sustainable development, targeting 50% renewable electricity by 2030 (Reuters). From green hydrogen initiatives to expansive solar parks and giga-projects such as NEOM, these efforts are redefining the region’s energy and economic landscape. CARE KSA emerges as a vital platform to amplify this momentum, uniting key public and private sector stakeholders, accelerating project delivery, and showcasing global innovations aligned with Saudi Arabia’s sustainability ambitions.

Speaking about the series, Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO of Trescon, commented: “CARE KSA will bring together global innovators and Saudi stakeholders to accelerate tangible outcomes in renewables, climate tech, and green finance. Our goal is to help turn the Kingdom’s bold vision into implemented, bankable projects.”

Each CARE edition features keynotes, panel discussions, policy roundtables and workshops, dialogues, and a dynamic exhibition floor highlighting next-generation solutions in solar, wind, green hydrogen, water, climate finance, and carbon markets. CARE KSA will also host the ClimateTech World Cup, a global pitch competition spotlighting early-stage innovations in climate adaptation, energy storage, carbon capture, and the circular economy. Finalists will pitch live to international investors and corporates, expediting the deployment of scalable, high-impact solutions.

CARE is guided by the Global CARE Alliance, a high-level advisory board comprising sustainability leaders including:

• Dr Waleed Alkalash, Former Deputy Minister for Labour Policies / CEO Ministry of Labour / Business Consulting & Services, KSA
• Adnan Bin Abdulrahman Alalyani, Director General, Environmental Technologies, National Center of Environmental Compliance, KSA
• Nizar Kammourie, CEO SAWACO Water & Board Member – ESG Committee, The American Chamber of Commerce Saudi Arabia (AmCham), KSA
• Julie Newman, Director of Sustainability, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA
• Erik Solheim, Former Minister of Environment & Former Under-Secretary-General, UNEP, Norway
• Dr Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Former Minister of Environment, UAE

Their collective expertise grounds CARE in global best practice and helps shape meaningful outcomes tailored to each host region.

As Saudi Arabia intensifies its net-zero commitment and climate financing mechanisms, CARE KSA arrives at a pivotal moment — offering a focused platform to convert vision into execution, capital into projects, and ideas into tangible, large-scale impact.
