Exposure
HYDRO 2023
KGAL participated on the UK Pavilion at HYDRO 2024
in Edinburgh in October and it was a superb event.
Dave Griþths, Nick Crosby and Yue He were kept busy with lots going on - interesting
conference sessions, fabulous social events and a buzzing exhibition stand - and it
was great to see lots of friends, colleagues and partners from the international
hydropower industry again. We're looking forward to the next one in Graz, Austria,
November 2024.
