Paris : Innovation for Business Advantage

I see the Lord Mayor of Adelaide - http://www.cop21paris.org/speakers/rh-martin-haese - is part of the day 2 (December 8)  session 'Innovation for Business Advantage' at Paris COP 21 - http://www.cop21paris.org/agenda . Go Adelaide!! New Zealand's participant on the panels is a minister. We've still got a long way to go federally, that's for sure.

Innovation for Business Advantage
Uniting public and private sector actors to explore successful technology and policy innovation for low carbon expansion

• The triple bottom line: economic case for sustainable innovation
• Transitioning to sustainable practices: strategies for engineering new business models
• Examples of successful ground breaking technology development
• Opportunities for technological leapfrogging in developing markets

Perovskites and BIPV have such a great part to play in this unfolding story. I hope there is a growing awareness of what some Australian businesses are doing in this space. Successful ground breaking technology development and leapfrogging sounds good to me. Especially if the technology hails from Queanbeyan!

I'm looking forward to Dyesol's announcement about Australian collaborations and partners, given the timing of Paris and Dyesol occupying the Canberra sweet spot. I'd think some more focussed, strategic PR is needed now to get out there and sell the benefits of home grown technology in terms of the environment, jobs and our balance of trade!
