Keynote speaker announcement: UAE's Minister of Environment and Water to open the Convention

His Excellency, Dr Rashid Ahmed Bin Fahad, the UAE’s Minister of Environment and Water, will join the 3rd Annual GPCA Fertilizer Convention as the guest of honour and keynote speaker.  The Minister will open the conference with a look at the UAE’s progress towards environmental sustainability. A long-time proponent of sustainability, the Minister has recently formed a National Committee on Environmental Coordination to promote environmental policies in the UAE.  

Dr. Abdul-Wahab Al Sadoun, Secretary General for the GPCA commented “The GPCA is honoured to welcome His Excellency Dr. Rashid Ahmed Bin Fahad to our 3rd Annual GPCA Fertilizer Convention and we are delighted that he can lend his support to the event as our opening keynote speaker. Dr. Fahad’s commitment to environmental sustainability is well known. His insights into the UAE’s moves towards sustainability will complement the theme of this year’s Convention, Transforming sustainable development into value creation in the fertilizer industry. With the Minister’s backing, the Convention will help the fertilizer industry move even further forward in its steps towards a sustainable industry.”

The Annual GPCA Fertilizer Convention, co-hosted for the third year running by the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association and CRU Events, will be returning to Dubai on 17-19 September 2012.
In this time of significant expansion and uncertainty in the fertilizer industry, the GPCA 3rd Annual Fertilizer Convention will examine how sustainable development can lead to value creation in the fertilizer industry with a special focus on the market demands in the Gulf, Africa, Iraq, China, Brazil, India and Iran.

Organisations confirmed to present at the Convention include The International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA), Ma'aden, Unilever, SABIC, GPIC, CNCIC, EtherChem (Beijing), Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), Stamicarbon, Iraq Geological Survey and Nalco as well as market insights from CRU’s own analysts.
This year’s event will begin with pre-conference technical workshop on the first day of the Convention on 17 September.
