Forums focus on greentech
Climate change is responsible for a lot of things. One is the rapid global move toward “greentech,” the development of technologies and enterprises that create positive environmental impact.
“Greentech has tremendous investment potential,” says Mike Volker, director of Simon Fraser University’s Ventures Incubator. “There is a growing contingent of researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders in this area and they need a place to connect. We are establishing the Vancouver Greentech Forum to make that happen.”
Vancouver’s mayor, Gregor Robertson, will be on hand to officially launch the VGF Forum, Thursday, March 5, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at SFU’s Segal Graduate School of Business, 500 Granville St.
This inaugural program includes Paul Richardson, president of Renewal2 and presentations by Habitat Enterprises and 3rd Whale.com.
The forums are free, but space is limited. Registration: www.sfu.ca/time.
Sessions (the second Thursday of the month) will offer speakers, greentech pitches and networking, and are open to all those interested in greentech.
