Where Water Meets Money...
This is the time for water and money. In these days of uncertainty, the big blue offers a dependability which has disappeared from the rest of the economy. As climate change and population growth leads to an ever more desperate search for water resources, the appeal of water becomes inexorable.
At the same time, water needs capital and the global financial crisis has affected the public and private sector alike. What does this mean for the industry, and what is the way ahead?
We will be coming together at the Marriott Hotel in Zurich on the 27th and 28th April 2009 to find solutions to this challenge, and the opportunities within it.
- What new models are evolving for financing water projects?
- How does the dependability of water make a difference in a world of volatility?
- What is the role of desalination in the future of the water sector?
- Can new technologies make the difference?
- Where can we invest to make the most of the new situation?
- Is it possible to pursue our water needs and protect the environment?
Blue, Green and Gold is your route map through the dangers, risk and potential of the new financial realities. It brings together the world of water: all the people you need to know in order to formulate a strategy in this climate of rapid change.
Whether you are a utility manager, an engineer, contractor, equipment supplier, investor, or associated professional, Blue Green and Gold is the must attend event for everyone looking to make the most of the next 12 months in the global water industry:
- The big ideas: visionary keynote speakers who can see tomorrow's trends in today's chaos
