Rund 3 000 Entscheider und Fachleute aus Gemeinden und Unternehmen haben sich an der Ausstellung und den zahlreichen Begleitveranstaltungen über die neusten Trends im Bereich der sauberen Energie- und Umwelttechnologien informiert. Auf dieser soliden Grundlage will die Veranstaltung nun weiter wachsen. Die zweite Cleantec City findet vom 19. bis 21. März 2013 auf dem Messeplatz Bern statt.

One year after Fukushima – Cleantec City shows the alternatives

Yesterday, Sunday, was the first anniversary of the accident at the Fukushima reactor – the event that has prompted Switzerland to abandon atomic energy. At the Berne exhibition grounds from Tuesday to Thursday, the Cleantec City event will show the alternatives to atomic power. Exhibitors from all over Switzerland will demonstrate sophisticated cleantech solutions for use in municipalities and businesses. Cleantec City will be a beacon in the Swiss federal capital for the up-and-coming green economy sector.

Clean technologies in the “District of the future”

Local authorities and companies are placing more and more importance on cleantech products, processes and services in their infrastructure. The Cleantec City event, to be held at the Berne exhibition grounds from 13 to 15 March, will demonstrate market-ready solutions. Above and beyond this, there will also be a specially constructed exhibition area where technologies of the future will be shown that are still in development. In this “District of the future”, visitors will experience technologies up close that could in the near future bring radical change to our lives. Together with other cleantech protagonists, 15 leading Swiss research institutions from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and the universities of applied sciences will gaze into a “green” future where, for example, road-sweeping vehicles will no longer emit any pollutants, where our toilets will produce fertilisers, and where our vegetable patches will be nourished by fish.

Cleantec City: from vision to reality
