After the grand success of the first edition of Smart Green Summit and Awards 2015 in Delhi, Saint-Gobain and The Economic Times are back again to fast-forward the mandate of ‘Creating Tomorrow’s Sustainable Living Spaces’ through the Smart Green Summit and Awards 2016 in Mumbai. The mega-event, scheduled to take place on December 16 2016, will be a one-of-a-kind platform for discussions, panels, exhibitions among key stakeholders, leaders and bureaucrats in the industry.
The Smart Green Summit and Awards 2016 will delve into how sustainable practices worldwide are being integrated through evolving and innovating conventional practices and defining the path forward towards achieving world class status in environmental sustainability. Furthermore, it poses as a dynamic platform to recognize all those working towards creating a sustainable living.
Elaborating on the event, Mr. Deepak Lamba, President, Times Conferences Ltd. said, “Organizations are discovering the multiple benefits of being driven by sustainability. Not only does it make sound business sense, it fuels innovation and helps organizations reengineer processes, operations, products and business models while ensuring sustainable deployment of resources. Going forward, we see the Smart Green initiative having a profound impact both on the industry and environment.”
Today, sustainability focuses not only on the growing need of eco-friendly built environments but also on intelligently using and re-using the resources available. The key speakers at the event will talk about sustainability and innovations in the space of design, technology and architecture and will also elaborate on topics like lighting and work-space productivity, modifying usage of modern technology to conserve natural resources, among other relevant issues.
Being sustainable can be accelerated by good use of Smart technology. The changes that are being brought about through advanced technologies are enormous and the opportunities are many, with a need to be more focused about moving towards a greener & sustainable future. Smart Green Summit and Awards will focus on bringing to the fore the technologies that will define the Sustainable world that we are striving for.
