The GLOBE 2016 Leadership Summit and Innovation Exposition will run at the Vancouver Convention Centre from March 2 to 4, 2016.
The future belongs to countries and businesses that become leaders of clean technologies, innovation, and sustainability. Canada is building the partnerships and making the investments necessary to take advantage of the growing opportunities in these markets," said Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada.
GLOBE 2016 is the first major North American business event to follow the COP21 United Nations climate summit. More than 2,000 thought leaders, policy makers, and financial, corporate and environment industry executives will come together to discuss how to parlay environmental and social challenges, such as climate change, into opportunities.
"We are honoured to have Prime Minister Trudeau address the hundreds of leaders coming to GLOBE 2016," said Mike Gerbis, CEO of GLOBE Series.
"The Prime Minister has stated that Canada will maximize the opportunities of the shift to a low-carbon economy," added Gerbis.
