Paris/Berlin/Qingdao/Bangkok: “Green Industries” today are nearly subject of every strategic discussion since Fukoshima. So again in September 2011, when the 8th. Asia-Pacific-Weeks will start a more than 200 event programme with great international participation and a special focus on “green industries”. Waste & Waste Management are among the key head lines of the weeks which started some 16 years ago on the initiative of the then-Governing Mayer of the newly united capital of Germany. One of the top conferences will be the “Green Cities – Green Industries – The Berlin Conference” in Berlin`s city hall with the opening ceremony on September 12th. 2011. A Monday and one day after of those unforgotten days of the mankind: 9/11.
REMONDIS International and SGS Climate Change Programme, Environmental Services, among the leading companies in the market and with their keynote-speakers of the “Forum on Waste & Waste Management” will demonstrate their international practises and prospects for future developments and co-operation in their specific markets. State of the art technical solutions will be provided by high tech companies from Germany ready for international co-operation. From Vietnam a business delegation with decision makers from Hanoi, Danang, Saigon and Haiphong already registered. Bangkok and Qingdao will be presented by delegations under the guidance of their Governors or Mayors.
The international conference within the frame work of the biannual Asia-Pacific-Weeks of Berlin will focus on new developments in the area of green industries and technologies. The metropolitan areas of each country are generally “gate way” and “show case” of a nation. This is one of the reasons for Berlin`s international business networks to concentrate more on international metropolitan cooperation in the future. We are sure that each of the topics are of great interest for every developing region in the world. H.E. the Governing Mayor of Berlin Klaus Wowereit has invited e colleagues of some Asian capital cities who will be attending the conference and Asia-Pacific-Weeks.

The dynamic event will demonstrate international green projects and technologies “invented and made in Germany” which are already in the realization process in Asia or short before.
