Following the Greentech Festival (GTF), which took place at the former Tegel Airport (TXL) in Berlin in June 2022, GTF founders have announced the launch of Greentech Festival in Singapore. The event will take place 17-18 November, will be held at the Gardens by the Bay.
Greentech Festival is a global platform that aims to foster innovative green technologies for a sustainable future and welcomed 200 exhibitors and over 13,000 visitors in Berlin.
For its first Singapore edition, GTF will host a smaller spin-off event which preserves some essential elements of the festival: the Green Awards, the GTF Conference and the GTF Exhibition.
Nico Rosberg, the co-founder of GTF and former motorsports racing driver, said: “I am very excited for Greentech Festival’s move to Singapore. The country is one of the most memorable race destinations in my F1 career, where I won the inaugural Singapore night race. Now it's time for us to support Singapore and help to catalyse change for this metropolis in Asia. The Greentech Festival is fully committed to showing the best sustainability innovations and technologies, as well as bringing some of our partners like Audi, Lufthansa and Siemens to Singapore.”
Marco Voigt, the co-founder of GTF, is equally excited to bring the show to Singapore, and believes Singapore has proven to be the best destination for Green Technologies and Sustainable businesses ideas in Asia. Singapore’s noteworthy initiatives include concrete whole-of-nation sustainability targets under the Singapore Green Plan 2030; world-class water treatment NEWater technologies; and iconic and sustainable projects including Gardens by the Bay, which employs energy-efficient solutions to reduce energy consumption.
“Our Singapore edition will focus on sustainable city planning and green building technologies – areas in which Singapore is already paving the way for Asia through initiatives like the Green Mark scheme for buildings. The GTF team is fully committed to bringing the show to Singapore and establishing an equally important show in Asia. Together with our editions in Berlin, New York City and London, we feel Singapore is a very important addition to mark on the map for GTF,” Voigt added.
The Greentech Festival in Singapore will host the GTF AWARDS on 17 November, followed by a C-suite conference on 18 November at Gardens by the Bay, to discuss the latest issues and trends for sustainable building and city planning. This will be followed by workshops in other locations in Singapore. The organisers expect more than 40 high-level speakers, as well as 1,500 delegates at Gardens by the Bay.
Local event partner in Singapore is Expos Asia and its founder Bjoern Kempe, who is also living in Berlin, and his long-term partners Rosalind Ng and Daniel Chua.
