Javier Nieto, KSA Director for the Water business of ACCIONA who participated as the keynote speaker, said that "ACCIONA's expertise is directly relevant to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 programs and goals. We see ourselves as partners that can enable the Kingdom to realize its vision of creating a vibrant, diversified and more sustainable economy and society. For example, the seven desalinations and wastewater treatment plants that we are building –and the two desalination plants that we have recently completed– will improve the water security of 8.3 million people and make the country more resilient to climate shocks".
