Green I.T. for Green Policy, in partnership with OASIS and the Belgium Federal Ministry of Finance, is an official conference of the 2010 Belgian Presidency of the European Union (EU) .
The objective of this two-day Conference is to provide an opportunity for the public and private sectors to debate how Information & Communication Technologies can enhance environmental and energy sustainability and competitiveness in line with the goals of the Belgian EU Presidency. Expert speakers will discuss how Technology and Policy interact within a progressive and dynamic partnership to achieve sustainability goals within tight financial constraints. Open standards and interoperability will be considered as important contributions to promoting green I.T. for green policies.
The Conference will bring together an audience of
approximately 350 senior-level policy makers from the public sector
as well as top executives in the Energy, Climate Change, Sustainable
Development, Smart Buildings and related Technology fields.
