WE POSTED THIS ORIGINALLY ON NOVEMBER 6, 2009 AND POST THIS REMINDER BECAUSE OF THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF CHINA’S PLACE AT THE NEGOTIATION’S TABLE IN COPENHAGEN.

Cleantech Forum Beijing.

The size of China’s green stimulus program is historically unprecedented at about 38% of the over $200 billion announced, and underpinning the country’s rise as the largest emerging cleantech market. And, China is positioned to benefit from receiving capital and support for technology transfer and cooperation at the Copenhagen climate negotiations.

The race to reinvent the world starts and ends in China

As its solar industry’s breathtaking growth indicates the Middle Kingdom is arriving as an incubator of worldclass cleantech companies, the scale of China’s energy and environmental challenges, combined with its deep financial resources, creates a unique opportunity to shape and accelerate market adoption of cleantech innovation globally.

The 3rd annual China Cleantech Forum at the Grand Hyatt Beijing will convene up to 500 Chinese and international policy, corporate, investment, technology and entrepreneurial leaders at a unique, timely and dynamic moment.

Entrepreneurs, corporations, investors, innovators and economic development agencies agree that:

• The China job market and trade opportunities are becoming more competitive
• Copenhagen signals a new era and style of political engagement, with China leading and collaborating
• China will produce home-grown technology ventures
• China is a critical end-market for western-based companies to hit a J-curve, as their own economies adjust to a period of benign growth

Come to Cleantech Forum XXV to harness the opportunities and take on the challenges that the Chinese cleantech initiatives represent. As the world needs to engage with Chinese innovators and investors, China has no choice but to collaborate with the global cleantech sector because:

• China is the largest emitter of carbon in the world and the fasting growing developing economy in the world,
• China makes more investments in wind, solar & nuclear than the rest of the world combined, and
• China is fundamentally re-conceptualizing human transportation

The Chinese cleantech sector is a test-case for policy, capital and technology transfer successfully coming together, and a lynch-pin to the global climate change agreement.

Over 2 days Cleantech Forum XXV will explore:

• The macro-factors impacting China and global cleantech – Copenhagen and technology transfer/cooperation
• International viewpoints on China – hear from non-Chinese companies, large and small, to whom China is strategically important
• What can the rest of the world offer Chinese companies’ growth strategies?
• The growth of local entrepreneurism – meet some of the hottest local ventures looking for capital.
