WEBINAR - European Excellence in Sustainability sharing sessions: Clean & Efficient Energy

The French Chamber of Commerce in Singapore is co-organizing with the Eurocham this session on Clean Energy technologies.

For decades, the world has anticipated the transformational impact of clean energy technologies.  As public and private sectors made long-term investments to support those technologies, some critics became impatient, claiming a clean energy future would “always be a few years away.”  Today, the clean energy future has arrived. 

To make the transition to a competitive energy system, we need to overcome a number of challenges, such as increasingly scarce resources, growing energy needs and climate change.

On the 31^st of March at the Nanyang Technological University, three European companies from the energy sector; Neste Oil, Schneider Electric and Total Solar, will present their profile and sustainability efforts to other EuroCham members, government representatives, stakeholders, university students and alumni.

Join us for this important event to find out how the future of energy will be shaped and discover more about these companies and their present and future initiatives.
