TechForum - Race to the Green

Technology, as we know it, was developed to help people control and adapt to our environment. Mayor Gregor Robertson assembled the Greenest City Action Team in early 2009 to formulate the long-term vision that will make Vancouver the greenest city on Earth. Our technology community now has a specific mandate in Vancouver: sustainability. Citizens, businesses and governments are challenged to give Vancouverites the bright green future that we want for our descendants and provide them the gift of a vibrant and sustainable place to live.

Gregor Robertson joins the BCTIA on December 11th to discuss the Vancouver 2020 Vision of a Bright Green Future and the opportunities for our technology and business community as we strive for the title of “The World’s Greenest City”.

In addition, Cynthia Orr, Partner, Canadian Cleantech Leader at Ernst & Young, will provide a session summary from the Ernst & Young Cleantech Ignition event. Be the first to hear what our clean tech thought leaders cite as the key contributors to building BC into a clean energy powerhouse. Learn how you might leverage the multitude of opportunities this burgeoning sector has to offer.
