At this time of rapid change, intense regulatory uncertainty and continuing recession, bursts of innovation at the intersection of business and the environment are creating the potential for new opportunities across industries.
This interactive conference brings together the world's top CEOs, entrepreneurs, policymakers and industry experts to assess the risks and opportunities emerging across sectors and countries at this time of rapid change.
Hosted by the editors of The Wall Street Journal, ECO:nomics will bring together the world's top CEOs, policymakers, entrepreneurs and industry experts to discuss the key issues, including:
- China's energy shift and what it means for the world
- How will the political turmoil in the Middle East affect the future of business and the environment?
- Energy policies and regulation: the view from the marketplace, from Washington, and beyond
- How are companies managing and shaping their energy future?
- The drive toward electric cars – is the "big charge" justified?
- Who is writing the big checks – and to which emerging technologies?
At the new ECO:nomics PreConference, participants will explore successful approaches to key challenges, such as dealing with regulators, driving change, evaluating clean technologies and green marketing, in a series of hands-on, intimate Best Practices Workshops. >> Please click here for further details about the PreConference program.
The findings at the ECO:nomics will be published in a worldwide special report in The Wall Street Journal and on WSJ.com.
