Description:
The new low carbon vehicle cluster will hold its first event, Driving towards a Greener Wales, at the Cardiff City Stadium and provide the first opportunity for cutting edge technology companies in Wales to meet counterparts from the rest of Britain.
The event, which takes place at the Cardiff City Stadium on March 17 will provide the first opportunity for cutting edge technology companies in Wales to meet their counterparts from the rest of Britain.
They will be invited to network during a 'speed dating' session designed to focus on essentials and provide opportunities to meet as many business contacts as possible in the shortest time.
There will be exhibitions and demonstrations of low carbon vehicle technologies for delegates to look over and the event will be chaired by Welsh Automotive Forum chairman Prof Garel Rhys CBE. The WAF is managing the event which will also be addressed by Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones AM, SMMT chief executive, Paul Everitt, and the chief executive officer of CLEPA (European Association of Automotive Suppliers), Lars Holmqvist.
The event is part of the Wales Green Automotive Agenda, aiming to bring together individuals and companies in Wales with like-minded counterparts in the UK and Europe to create a low carbon vehicle industry to meet the challenges of the future for low polluting and sustainable mobility.
(Note: event details will be added to the WAF website - link above - in w/b 1 Feb.)
