2nd annual Green Trade Network summit - Sustainable Cities of the 21st Century - Sept. 25, Santa Cruz, CA

The groundbreaking efforts of Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and new eco-city efforts in China and other parts of the world are examples of projects that are establishing a worldwide trend of developing new sustainable cities of the 21st Century. Great opportunities exist for Green small to mid-sized enterprises to supply technologies, services and products for these historical undertakings.

The intention of this conference is to provide a forum for ‘Green’ small to mid-sized enterprises to learn and network about how they can participate as suppliers and/or consultants for projects that ensure clean air, water and food, healthy housing and workplaces, sound waste management procedures and clean renewable energy systems for these new eco cities as well as other traditional city infrastructures.

Approximately 250 attendees will participate at this conference comprised of manufacturers, consultants, designers, architects, investors, technicians, entrepreneurs, researchers and policy makers from four distinct ‘Green’ industry sectors, (Green construction, air and water purification, renewable energy and waste management).
