6. Forum on Economic Co-Operation: Alternativ Energy in the Middle East., 13. - 17. July 2008

In July 2008, the sixth annual "Jordanian-Israeli Forum on Economic Cooperation" was held in Wittenberg, Germany by the Peres Center, in cooperation with the Amman Center for Peace and Development, under the academic auspices of the Wittenberg Center for Global Ethics and with the support of Daimler.

This year’s focus topic was “Alternative Energy in the Middle East" and as such, some 20 leading Israeli and Jordanian alternative energy experts came together and presented their research to one another, which specifically examined the alternative energy market and needs in the two countries, as well as future plans and goals.
 
As in the previous joint seminars, the objective of the meeting was to connect Jordanian and Israeli participants in order to advance concrete initiatives for commercial cooperation, and in this vein, the participants agreed on the potential benefits of implementing joint alternative energy technologies.
