About the GREENTECH FESTIVAL
With the slogan 'Celebrate Change', the GREENTECH FESTIVAL brings people together from all over the world to inspire them with green technologies for a sustainable lifestyle. As the first festival of its kind, it combines the largest exhibition of green technologies to date (GREENTECH EXHIBITION I 24.-25.05.19), a conference featuring renowned visionaries (GREEN LEADERS CONFERENCE I 23.-24.05.19), the presentation of the GREEN AWARDS (24.05.19) and the GREEN VIBES concert (23.05.19).
I think that this date is an important date and we need to remember and consider this period of time.
