French electric power innovations in the spotlight in Saudi Arabia! RIYADH (Hotel Novotel Al Anoud) – May 9th and 10th, 2011



A symposium to be held next May 9th and 10th in Riyadh will unveil the latest technological advances in the
field of electric power production, transport and distribution. The event will put 16 French companies in touch
with major buyers like SEC, WEC, Marafiq, SWCC and private Saudi operators. It is organised by UBIFRANCE,
the French Agency for International Business Development, in partnership with the GIMELEC (the Grouping of
Industries in Electrical Equipment, Control/Command and Related Services).

In order to meet electricity needs in Saudi Arabia, increasing at a rate of 7 to 8% per annum, SEC has developed
a USD18b investment plan aiming at adding a capacity of 20,000 MW by 2018, in addition to projects planned by
Independent Power Producers (IPP). Enough to spark the interest of the most dynamic companies in the sector!

After a morning session devoted to presenting their know-how to the group of decision-makers, each company will take
part in a session of B to B meetings. This will be an opportunity for them to improve their knowledge of the Saudi market
and to raise their profile. In addition, it will be a chance for both sides to make a number of new business contacts. A date
you cannot afford to miss!

The following companies will be available for meetings:

AREVA supplies solutions for carbon-free power generation. In solar, AREVA designs, manufactures and installs solar
steam generators for the global power generation and industrial steam needs. Each system is designed to seamlessly
