Making the Most of Environmental
Goods & Services Opportunities
County Hall, Topsham Road, Exeter EX2 4QD
Tuesday 24th January 2012 : 11.30am - 2pm with networking lunch
Learn how you can make the most of one of the fastest growing sectors in the world, worth $113trillion. Understand the market opportunities now and in the future for service and manufacturing companies both large and small in Devon, UK and Globally.
UK and globally there is much consensus that we need to move to a low carbon ‘Green’ economy, and that we can only get there by developing new products and services to fulfil this new demand. This sector is called the Environmental Goods and Services (EGS) sector and not surprising is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. This EGS sector cuts across many existing sectors, from advanced manufacturing, energy, transport, water to ICT, finance, construction and food, which means there are many opportunities for all businesses to adapt products and services to make the most of this new local and global demand.
Listen first hand to rapidly growing companies in this sector and what support there is available to you to help you grow.
It can be confusing to understand which particular areas are growing, where the markets are, the trends in innovation and business models, and what finance and support is available. This event will help with expert local knowledge and independent informative talks to enable you to understand:
¨ What is the Environmental Good and Services (EGS) sector
¨ What are the market trends, polices, business models, growth areas
¨ What are the competitive advantages of UK plc, and for businesses in Devon
¨ What are the opportunities and challenges you can make the most of
¨ Learn directly for a local business how to grow successfully
¨ What support is available to you locally and nationally
Businesses in Devon are well placed to make the most of the growth in the EGS sector, with a skilled workforce, good natural resources, excellent research organisations, competitive and innovative firms but businesses have to innovate and look nationally and globally to succeed. But there are excellent opportunities in the $103 trillion low carbon global marketplace for businesses that grab the challenges. .
The Event Speakers will include:
- Ben Powis, Environmental iNet SW, Project Manager
- Mark Hodgson, Zero2050, specialist in low carbon economy
- Victoria Davison Ashwoods, Multi-award winning local Hybrid company
Who Should Attend
The event is aimed at business people across Exeter and Devon who want to understand what this new ‘EGS’ market is and how they can grow their business and what will be the sectors and markets to focus upon when deciding where you take your business next.
