Nucharin Paradeevisut, general manager of UBM Asia (Thailand, added, “Many attendees were interested in environmental management technology, including technology that turns waste into energy.”
He said, “A number of corporate leaders showed interest in the Renewable Energy Conference, the ASEAN Water Conference and the ASEAN Presentation on Renewable Energy.”

More seminar topics included “Renewable Energy” (Energy Security in the 21st Century and Sustainable Bio-Energy), “Energy Saving for the Industry” and “Develop the Local communities with Energy from Wastes”, which was given by representatives from public sectors in ASEAN to suggest investment in the business of environment and renewable energy.

There also was a “One-stop Clinic” onsite that was an all-inclusive energy consultative center with four zones.
The Starter Zone offered information and educated entrepreneurs on policies, rules and regulations.
