Post Date: 21 May 2009 Viewed: 674
Habitat, Energy and the Environment are the worlds that Saint-Gobain is intending to invite visitors to explore at its 100-square meter booth. Theoretical and practical aspects of these themes will be addressed through a series of conferences and demonstrations.
On June 3, the Saint-Gobain booth will also be the venue for the "Saint-Gobain and start-ups" innovation competition. The competition singles out the European start-ups offering the most innovative and relevant partnerships in the areas of habitat, energy and the environment. This year, Saint-Gobain has received 47 submissions from 11 countries. The nine European start-ups short-listed by Saint-Gobain's Nova External Venturing team will be invited to present their project, and attempt to convince the panel of experts during a "speed-dating" session. The awards will be presented starting at 2:30 pm at the exhibition's TV studio.
