Creating Connections: Building Business

MEET OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
The Sunshine Coast aims to be Australia’s most sustainable region – healthy, smart, creative. We already have one of the highest concentrations of clean technology businesses in the country and, as a council, are driving sustainability in our region and beyond. The Sunshine Coast is brimming with opportunity, which makes our region the perfect location for the National Clean Technologies Conference & Exhibition.
I invite people from across the cleantech industry – innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, investors and industry-leading businesses – to visit our region and to experience the opportunities for themselves.
