On Tuesday 22 September, The King opened Swedish company ClimateWell's factory in Soria in Spain. The factory, which is the first of its kind, is located in Soria, approximately 200 km north of Madrid.

The Swedish company ClimateWell manufactures air-conditioning units that run on solar cells using a unique, patented technique.

The technique involves storing energy from solar cells in a saline battery, which can then both heat and cool down the immediate surroundings. This works best in hot countries where there is a lot of sun and considerable need for air conditioning.

In his opening speech, The King referred to ClimateWell as a typical Swedish example of how inventions can be used to solve key global challenges.
