Global Energy Basel
Global Energy Basel is an annual conference organised by Swiss Exhibition in Basel, Switzerland. It is a partnering platform for exponents of sustainable energy solutions. Representatives from industry, government, administration, science and NGO's present exemplary solutions for secure and sustainable energy supply in the context of large infrastructure and urban development projects. Critical factors for successfully establishing the strategic partnerships necessary for implementing such projects are addressed.
Topics
Global Energy Basel is focused on developing new partnerships between the public and private sectors. The event looks beyond strict definitions of individual market segments. Sustainability-oriented urban planning, such as in the case of so-called eco towns, is as much a focal point of Global Energy Basel as energy-saving urban, rural and industrial infrastructure planning. Mobility and transportation issues are also taken into account alongside energy and water supply considerations. Further, the basic financial and political conditions of such projects are discussed.
Partners
The partners of Global Energy Basel are the World Economic Forum, ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability), the Swiss Government and the Government of Basel-City, as well as the UN Global Compact and the Cleantech Group.
