Program Unveiled for Green Energy Summit 2009

Must Attend Event for Solar, Wind, Biomass, GreenFuels, Green IT, Green Builings, Energy Efficiency
and Sustainability







December
15, 2008, Bangalore:
From March 4-6, world
leaders in the
renewable, green, clean technology
and energy efficiency sectors will gather in Bangalore for Green Energy Summit 2009. The summit is a highly efficient forum for
varied stakeholders from solar, wind, biomass, IT, transport, construction, aviation, nanotechnology
and biotechnology
to bring together the business and science of the most important and relevant
Green Energy and Clean technologies ( http://www.greenenergysummit.com
).





Green Energy Summit has two objectives,
amidst a vast array of highly complex issues. First, to bring to a single,
public platform - stakeholders and decision-makers from policy, finance,
manufacturing and trade. Second, to help catalyze solutions, initiatives and
opportunities, so that Green Business, and therefore the necessary change we
seek so desperately, can prosper.





"While
the business opportunities in the future are enormous, we understand the need
for businesses today to gain a foothold so that economically viable change can
be more logical, active and urgent. To facilitate this, we will be bringing
together those who are creating, propagating and establishing the systems and
standards that are needed, so there can be a firm stimulus for action that goes
far beyond the rhetoric, with practicable initiatives being addressed,"
says Dilip Thomas Steering Committee Member/Program Chair & CEO of
Saltmarch Media, the organizers of Green Energy Summit ( http://www.greenenergysummit.com/
)





"Green Energy Summit is unique in that
it endeavours to identify practical steps that will be of interest to decision
makers in govt, business, industry and civil society in order to move the
agenda forward with speed and urgency," adds Dr. J Gururaja,
Former Sr. Advisor to United Nations. Among the participants expected to
explore a sustainable future at GES are the sector’s leading financiers,
entrepreneurs, corporations, scientists, policy-makers, city planners and the
buyers and sellers.

Thanks for that. Are you the Miss C. Flower invitee ? Someone might have sent you an email requesting information.

Not knowingly, but that looks like an interesting read.
