Bioenergy Business Models that work in Canada

September 30 – October 1, 2010
Sheraton Wall Centre, Vancouver, BC

The CanBio theme for 2010 is projects that work in Canada. We focus on development, not gab! CanBio invites you to attend our biggest event of the year: a business-focused conference that helps you make the right bioenergy decisions. Register by August 31 for the best discount!

Special Investor Partnering Session Does your bioenergy project need financing? Equity or debt? In this session you may present your project to entrepreneurs and investor companies and then meet interested potential partners in b2b meetings. Is this effective? Indeed, a CanBio mission to Beijing in May has resulted in follow up discussions to bring $500 million to Canada in bioenergy project financing. All 16 timeslots originally available have been filled, so we have extended the session to accommodate more projects. Sign up today - click here for the signup sheet. You must be registered for the conference in order to participate.

Interested in community biomass heating? Attend the "free" special interactive panel being held Friday afternoon jointly with the BC Bioenergy Network; a panel of 6 Europeans and Canadians each delivering a 10-minute presentation on relevant district heating issues, followed by a 1 hour facilitated discussion and a 1-hour networking reception. Do not miss this!

• Discover the profitable business model used to develop community heat in New England.
• Hear from the most successful developer of small heat & power projects in Europe, and see why their technology will work in Canada.
• Find out how to finance your projects - large or small - or take advantage of a new turnkey option that finances it for you.

Ten EU countries are attending and CanBio anticipates a slate of prospective financing partners from China, South Korea, India and Canada, following the successful CanBio partnership event in Beijing. A 25-company trade show, a study tour, and a major commitment to effective b2b meetings will help get your bioenergy project rolling. Click here for more details of the agenda.
