Recipes for Success: Capitalizing on China’s Industrial Growth

Acting on the Unique Cleantech Opportunity in China

Over December 3-5, 2008 more than 300 of the world's leading investors at the forefront of the cleantech investment category - representing over $3 trillion in capital - together with entrepreneurs, scientists and policy-makers, will convene in Shanghai for Cleantech Forum® XX.

As the global financial system continues its correction, the economies and markets across the world are experiencing negative effects and looking for solutions. Amid this volatile landscape, China’s economic engine continues to churn at an impressive pace. The standard of living, for hundreds of millions, continues to improve. Exports enabling many of the world economies continue to increase, but at a slower rate. The energy, water, and resource consumption required to feed these trends remain a key growth constraint, while efficient resource utilization continue to escalate rapidly.

As environmental requirements and related government and economic incentives expand in China, an unprecedented opportunity for clean technology products and services is unfolding - for both local and international companies. In order to successfully capitalize on this significant cleantech opportunity, stakeholders must understand the unique market dynamics in China and be equipped with the tools and knowledge to effectively navigate the space. The Cleantech Forum® XX - Shanghai will explore what distinguishes a "recipe for success" in China by convening the most involved and influential local and global leaders in cleantech.

Cleantech Forum XX is one in a series of five of the world's annual premier investment intelligence platforms occurring across North America, Europe, China and India, providing insight, investment opportunities and unparalleled networking for the world's leading investors, growth companies, policy- makers, scientists and enterprises.

Join us at Cleantech Forum XX - Shanghai in order to create the industry alliances and deals that will help China achieve sustainable growth and help your company capitalize on the cleantech opportunities from China's escalating industrial growth.
