 6th European Business Summit
Greening the Economy: new Energy for Business
21 & 22 February 2008 at TOUR & TAXIS, Brussels
The EBS is Europe’s number one meeting place between business leaders and decision makers. BUSINESSEUROPE and the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium – with the support of the European Commission and the EU Presidency – are pleased to present you its 6th edition.
With the theme Greening the Economy: new Energy for Business, the EBS wants to focus on how Europe can turn the “carbon challenge” into a business opportunity, giving new energy to growth and jobs. At the 6th EBS in 2008, business and political leaders, NGOs, media and academics from numerous countries will share visions and solutions in the area of climate change, energy and (eco-) innovation.
Energy and climate change are the world’s hot topics today. Enterprises, politicians and opinion leaders look for ways to fulfill energy needs and to innovate to reduce CO2 emissions. Greening our economy is rightly a major priority for the European Union and the business world.
Main reasons to attend the European Business Summit:
- Meet high-level decision makers
- Develop business opportunities
- Expand your network
- Get updated on the latest EU issues
- Attract public and private funding
- Receive media coverage
We are looking forward to meeting you on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 February 2008 at TOUR & TAXIS in Brussels, Capital of Europe!
