International Bioenergy Days
September 26-29, 2010 in Rockford, IL
International Bioenergy Days began in Sweden in 2006 as a way to bring
people together to learn from “success stories” and the latest
developments in the field. ÄFAB, a Swedish engineering company heavily
involved in those events, was asked on numerous occasions to establish
a recurring bioenergy conference that could alternate each year between
the United States and Sweden, each time in a different location.
Minnesota was chosen for the first U.S. presentation.September 26-29, 2010 in Rockford, IL
International Bioenergy Days provides an excellent opportunity for learning the latest advances in bioenergy technology.
- This meeting will provide opportunities to make contacts that will help you create value and new jobs.
- This is the place where managers, entrepreneurs and decision-makers from the US, Sweden, and the rest of Europe will meet to pursue their common interest to turn bioenergy technology into concrete business opportunities.
- The conference will also highlight alternative energy in the Great Lakes region through special exhibits and tours.
Invitation to Minnesota Life Science Community Special Event!
Minnesota’s Life Science Community: It’s in Our DNAJoin us on September 30 to get inspired to be an active contributor to Minnesota's life science community. Witness the unveiling of the new image of Minnesota's life science community, Unfolding the Natural History and Science of Life, by local artist Lynn Fellman. For Minnesotans with a stake in the biosciences, the spirit and concept of Unfolding the Natural History and Science of Life is a visual representation of our shared scientific achievements and the promise for our health and our planet.
