Clean Technologies for Sustainable Development: What's in it for the Photonic Industry?
Dear colleague,
The World Energy Council organizes a congress every three years. The next one will be held in Montreal in September, 2010. This congress, brings together approximately 3500 top world leaders in the field of energy, coming from industry, governments, and international organizations, as well as the media, universities and energy industry associations.
"Clean Technologies for Sustainable Development: What’s in it for the Photonic Industry?” is a one day seminar, organized by The Quebec Photonic Network in collaboration with the National Optics Institute (INO) to provide inputs from representatives of the photonic industry that can be submitted as announcements and/or recommendations at the World Energy Congress. To this end, we have assembled an outstanding group of speakers to provide insight and inspiration to the attendees and to lead a forward looking discussion on the roles that Canada’s Optics and Photonics companies and their business partners can play.
