Corporations and businesses, international and public organisations, educational/research organisations, individuals and inventors can participate in the eBPa. This platform will enable participants not only to show their best achievements in the field of energy, but also to exchange views and experiences in the promotion of these technologies, policies and projects that will be thematic worth of EXPO 2017.
