Program Unveiled for Green Energy Summit 2009
Must Attend Event for Solar, Wind, Biomass, GreenFuels, Green IT,
Green Builings, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

December 15, 2008, Bangalore: From March 4-6, world leaders in the
renewable, green, clean technology and energy efficiency sectors will
gather in Bangalore for Green Energy Summit 2009. The summit is a
highly efficient forum for varied stakeholders from solar, wind,
biomass, IT, transport, construction, aviation, nanotechnology and
biotechnology to bring together the business and science of the most
important and relevant Green Energy and Clean technologies (http://
www.greenenergysummit.com).

Green Energy Summit has two objectives, amidst a vast array of highly
complex issues. First, to bring to a single, public platform -
stakeholders and decision-makers from policy, finance, manufacturing
and trade. Second, to help catalyze solutions, initiatives and
opportunities, so that Green Business, and therefore the necessary
change we seek so desperately, can prosper.

"While the business opportunities in the future are enormous, we
understand the need for businesses today to gain a foothold so that
economically viable change can be more logical, active and urgent. To
facilitate this, we will be bringing together those who are creating,
propagating and establishing the systems and standards that are
needed, so there can be a firm stimulus for action that goes far
beyond the rhetoric, with practicable initiatives being addressed,"
says Dilip Thomas Steering Committee Member/Program Chair & CEO of
Saltmarch Media, the organizers of Green Energy Summit (http://
www.greenenergysummit.com/)

"Green Energy Summit is unique in that it endeavours to identify
practical steps that will be of interest to decision makers in govt,
business, industry and civil society in order to move the agenda
forward with speed and urgency," adds Dr. J Gururaja, Former Sr.
Advisor to United Nations. Among the participants expected to explore
a sustainable future at GES are the sector’s leading financiers,
entrepreneurs, corporations, scientists, policy-makers, city planners
and the buyers and sellers.
