Today, the GREEN VENTURES 2015 are opened on the occasion of the TerraTec and enertec fairs in Leipzig. Entrepreneurs from 37 countries will meet at the new exhibition grounds in order to discuss the latest trends in energy and environmental technology.
The partner country of this year’s GREEN VENTURES is Israel, which presents itself in different seminars and agenda items as a location for investment and a cooperation partner for international business. GvW partner Dr Werner Schnappauf will elaborate on German-Israeli relations in the energy business in his presentation “Renewable Energy & Israeli-German Cooperation”.
With the key subject Israel, the organizer acknowledges the 50th anniversary of the start of diplomatic relations between Israel and Germany. Therefore, the GREEN VENTURES are also a part of the supporting program for the anniversary “50 Years Israel-Germany” (for further details see www.de50il.org).
With its Israel Desk, GvW Graf von Westphalen has been committed in Israel and for the German-Israeli relations for years. Most recently, the firm brought together German investors and Israeli start-up companies in the context of the „German-Israeli StartHub – Connecting Innovation". GREEN VENTURES 2015 is the first Israel-related event for GvW in the year of the anniversary.
