17/02/10 Developing clean technology in Oxfordshire
FREE TO ATTEND 1/2 DAY PRESENTATION/ WORKSHOP – developing the clean tech economy in Oxfordshire: A low carbon future for a world-class economy.
The significance of future environmental and climate change is contested both politically and commercially. Oxfordshire has existing strengths in terms of academic skills, community engagement and business responses to the challenges of environmental and climate change but there is a perception that there is no overall vision or plan that considers how these changes will affect all aspects of society and the economy.
The aim of this event is to facilitate senior business and political leaders discussing how they can help each other respond successfully to the challenges and opportunties created by these changes.
An introduction by Sir David King will set the scene and will be followed by a presentation from Trevor Graham who has been working in Malmo to help it develop its clean-tech, low carbon economy.
Discussions during the afternoon will develop our understanding of the options facing Oxfordshire to respond and contribute to our understanding of who needs to be involved.
