Issues that have been discussed during the conference and expo, include water, hydrogen and digital technology for food security, women and youth in water, hydrogen and digital technology among others.

According to Ms. Reitumetse Nthako of Irise International, a non-profit organisation dealing with alternative construction materials said they took an interest in the expo as they believe it has potential to generate income for Lesotho and Basotho, thus promoting the economy.

Moreover, The prime minister of Lesotho, Honourable Sam Ntsokoane Matekane was present at this meeting, and he showed that the country of Lesotho is blessed with many natural resources including water but many Basotho live in poverty, he therefore said this time, the water hydrogen project will benefit the country and the whole of Basotho.
