What are the trends?” or “The Energy Vector as a Driver of Sustainable Mobility”, all topics very closely linked to the activity of the Cádiz tax district and the shift taken by the Institution towards a new, more sustainable industrial model committed to the environment, within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
