SYNOPSIS
On the 14th October 2021, DMA hosted an innovative hybrid event that combined socially distanced physical meetings in London and Algiers, connected by a digital bridge. We very much would like to thank Clarke Energy for their support.
Focused on the energy transition, this digital event connected business to business and business to government in an intimate and novel setting. It saw key principals and interlocutors from both governments introduced to the delegates and given the opportunity to present their positions in the run up to COP26.
