It’s time to talk about Sustainability and we have created an opportunity to do just that. The West Virginia Summit and Expo will be focused on our state’s rapidly growing sustainability business sector and will bring diverse perspectives and dynamic discussions related to these important topics:
· Emerging sustainable business opportunities and entrepreneurship
· Building local sustainable economies
· Competitive advantage for sustainable businesses
· Roles of local governments and organizations
· Green Job training and preparation
The one-day event will also focus on the importance of “buying local” and how it helps to grow local economies by supporting small to medium sized businesses. It will highlight businesses that are transitioning or actively engaged in the sustainable economy – one that builds social, environment, and economic assets for everyone!
The Expo booths will feature a variety of businesses and organizations that are committed to helping balance profits with the needs of people and the planet. You will have a chance to learn first-hand how they are positively changing the way we do business.
