Anewworld Consulting is pleased to
celebrate the launch of its Silicon Valley office!
At this first
event in a series, a panel of experts will discuss European Green
Tech initiatives at the convergence of Aerospace and the Green
Economy. This networking event will explore the burgeoning business
opportunities at the intersection of Aerospace and Silicon Valley
Green Tech.
Background
The Obama administration’s $787 billion economic stimulus
plan is packed with references to sustainable development. This plan
to reinvigorate the US economy is sometimes referred to as the
“Green New Deal”. For a few years now, the European governments have
helped European companies to develop both a competence and new
markets by implementing a regulatory scheme. In 2007, France
initiated a round table on the Environment, The Grenelle
Environnement, which provided an opportunity to review a vast
environmental program leading to a genuine shift in strategy in
various sectors. These European Green Policies Initiatives and the
associated business dynamics may support some of the Obama
administration’s current efforts to build a strong Green economy. In
this context, can the convergence between Aerospace and Green Tech,
promoted here by Anewworld Consulting, actually create new business
opportunities and get a head-start in the Silicon Valley?
