In this regard, Agro-pole Olivier ENA Meknes and the Foundation  «Olivier Promo Meknes», both long-standing partners of the Foundation « Olive Tree Routes », have brought together political and institutional personalities, representatives and olive oil experts from Morocco and other countries, on the occasion of a conference organised during COP22 on the theme « Olive Tree and olive oil: what are the perspectives in view of climate change, renewable sources of energy and circular economy?».

The conference gave participants the opportunity to debate, discover and exchange on innovative solutions concerning circular economy, particularly in the olive oil sector.

The conference was opened by Mister Mohand Laenser, President of the Fes-Meknes Region and President of the Foundation « Olivier Promo Meknes » who analysed the regional strategy on energy transition.
