The International Green Summit is taking place at Moura Convention Center in Portugal, from November 09 to 14, 2009. During this landmark event, Domain Experts, Policy-makers, Non-governmental Agencies, Educators, Corporations, Investors and Entrepreneurs from around the world will gather to discuss a wide spectrum of issues related to Renewable Energy Systems.

The primary goal of the Summit is to provide an impetus to the implementation of green, clean and sustainable technologies, solutions and business practices. The IGS aims to facilitate global transformation towards clean sources of energy and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by advocating integration of renewable energy into the primary energy mix. The International Green Summit also endeavors to create mass awareness about ways to conserve natural resources and safeguard the environment.

The Organizing Committee of IGS 2009 invites you to be a part of the Summit and humbly seek your support in making this event a runaway success. We would be thankful if you can join hands with us in making Renewable Energy a byline for Climate Change Mitigation and Sustainable Development. Please contact Salman for more details.
