Clean Tech meets the Next Economy.
The Metropool Region’s Road Map Next Economy Roadmap is well underway. Bio based and clean tech are an integral part of this roadmap en we will update you on the transitions paths and the significance of clean tech here in. Our partner TEDxRotterdam will assist us to select and present exciting next economy innovators.
Prof.dr.ir. Jan Rotmans from the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions of Erasmus University of Rotterdam will share his broad knowledge about sustainable development and transition towards the next economy. Jan Rotmans recently published its new book “Change of era” after the bestseller “In the eye of the hurricane” (both dutch). Moreover, our own director, Fred van Beuningen, will speak about the state of clean tech and the transition towards next economy.
The event will be held at BlueCity010 in Rotterdam. This location perfectly suits the theme, as many start-ups are established here. And not unimportant, there will be an opportunity to have a drink together.
