More than 300 participants from 57 local governments attended the convention and presented over 360 infrastructure projects and projects in the field of energy efficiency, renewable energy and environmental protection. After the completion of the plenary session, within 2 hours, representatives of municipalities, potential financial institutions, investors and company partners held more than 300 direct meetings.
