In a response to the world’s growing climate crisis, Trescon has announced the launch of CARE (Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo), a global summit series dedicated to advancing real-world sustainability solutions and scaling clean energy innovation. It is an initiative focused on delivering tangible outcomes in sustainability.

CARE will take place across multiple global hubs, with the MENA edition scheduled for Nov. 26–27, 2025, in Dubai and the KSA edition in Riyadh on Dec. 8–9, 2025. The series kicked off with a successful prelude in the form of the CARE Dialogues held on June 24, 2025, in Dubai. This invite-only roundtable focused on “Green Finance and Beyond: Driving ESG Across Sectors” and was powered by Emtribe. It convened top leaders in finance, policy, and technology to discuss actionable strategies for embedding ESG principles into core business models.
“As a partner of CARE, we’re proud to back a platform that focuses on what really matters — getting the right people in the room and driving honest, outcome-focused conversations,” said Mohammed Saleem, founder of Emtribe. He continued, “There’s a lot of talk in this space. CARE stands out by pushing for action that’s practical, collaborative, and needed.”
The key themes being focused at CARE include climate action and decarbonisation, renewable energy and CleanTech, sustainable finance and ESG, cities and infrastructure, water and oceans, circular economy, mobility and transport and food security and agriculture.

The momentum behind CARE comes at a critical time. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is witnessing a rapid transition to clean energy. According to Economy Middle East, MENA’s installed solar capacity reached 24 GWAC in 2024, marking a 25% year-on-year growth. Projections estimate this could exceed 180 GW by 2030. Countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt are aggressively investing in solar, wind, and green hydrogen, paving the way for a substantial energy transformation. A 2023 IRENA report suggests that reaching a 30% renewable energy share in the region’s power mix could generate 1.2 million new jobs by 2050.
Speaking about CARE’s vision, Naveen Bharadwaj, group CEO of Trescon, said, “CARE is built to do one thing well: move climate ambition into commercial reality. By bringing together stakeholders from policy, finance, and technology under one roof, it creates the right environment to surface big ideas, secure investment, and turn solutions into large-scale projects.”
The summit will feature keynotes, executive roundtables, panel discussions, and a vibrant exhibition zone. Each CARE edition will also host the ClimateTech World Cup, a global pitch competition spotlighting early-stage innovations across climate adaptation, carbon capture, renewable energy, and sustainable solutions.
CARE is guided by the Global CARE Alliance, an international advisory board of sustainability experts and climate-tech pioneers. The board includes:
