Connecting Queensland businesses with sustainable technologies
The current drought and the world’s changing climate present risks, challenges and opportunities for all businesses. Small enterprises are exposed to emerging trends that will shape and influence the major economic, social and environmental themes of the years ahead.
QWESTNet (Queensland Water and Energy Sustainable Technologies Network) aims to bring together sustainable technology users and retailers in an informal environment where relevant technologies, independent overviews and case studies are presented and discussed. Participants can also network with current users of sustainable technologies. Regular forums are held every two months in association with industry partners.
For a registration form, or for more information about current and future QWESTNet activities, go to the QWESTNet web page.
