Over a period of several years, the ThomasLloyd Group - one of the leading asset management and project financing companies for renewable energy infrastructure in Asia - has established the ThomasLloyd Cleantech Congress Europe as a platform for building bridges between European investors and technology companies on the one hand and project developers, communities and governments in Asia on the other.

Meet Renewable Energy's Future'.

In addition to President Clinton, who will deliver the keynote address via a live satellite link, other prominent international guests are scheduled to speak at the Congress. These include Prof. Dr. Justin Yifu Lin, the former Chief Economist and Vice-President of the World Bank, Loren Legarda, Senator of the Republic of the Philippines, Edgardo J. Angara, 16th President of the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines, and Professor Peter Guthrie, global expert for sustainable infrastructure development and Professor at the University of Cambridge, Great Britain. Her Excellency Maria Cleofe R. Natividad, the Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines in Germany will be welcoming participants to the Congress in her role as guest speaker.

This year for the first time, the ThomasLloyd showcase fair will be held parallel to the Congress to allow visitors to find out more about investment locations, technologies, projects and partners in the field of renewable energy infrastructure in Asia.
