Held across three days at the Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre, this annual trade fair and conference on clean energy highlighted Asian trends in renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions through intensive, high level discussions and networking.

Held from 2 to 4 November 2010, this year’s Clean Energy Expo Asia (CEEA) saw a significant increase in participants, attracting over 5,000 clean energy professionals from close to 50 countries. More than 170 international exhibitors and over 115 speakers from leading players in the technology, services, finance and government sectors attended the annual trade fair and conference, which was also the closing anchor event for the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW).

However, it was the electric vehicles that got our attention at this year’s Clean Energy Expo Asia. From a three-wheeled electronic Bike Board, a single-seater small electric vehicle that uses plant-based bio plastics for some of its body parts, to full-fledged high performance electric-powered sports cars such as the Tesla, the Sustainable Mobility Pavilion at this year’s trade fair showed participants a full range of Electric Vehicles (EVs) that is setting the standard for a new EV reality in the near future. Exhibitors EV World, Tesla, Toyota Tsusho and Audi were the four main exhibitors of EVs.

Leveraging on Singapore’s excellent infrastructure and global connectivity, Clean Energy Expo Asia is the only event in the region that gathers industry players from the Technology, Services, Finance, Legal and Government sectors in a single location to exchange knowledge, experiences and technology updates — creating industry links that will shape the future of Asia’s clean energy markets. Next year’s Clean Energy Expo Asia will be held from 1 - 3 November 2011 at the Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Singapore.
