The drive towards a Circular Economy forms the backdrop to this year’s World Waste to Energy City Summit.

With a firm focus on advanced conversion technologies, the summit addresses the need for innovation – not just

in technology, but in policy, finance and partnership models – in order to accelerate the growth of the waste to

energy industry worldwide.

I am delighted to welcome an outstanding speaking faculty of no less than 60 industry experts to share their ideas

and experience with our audience.

I am particularly pleased to feature two huge international project opportunities currently seeking proposals in

Malaysia and Kuwait

I would also like to thank our summit partner UKTI for bringing a large delegation from Emerging Europe to the

summit. As countries in the region work towards 2020 landfill diversion and renewable energy targets, the market

opportunity for waste to energy development is accelerating, and all UK companies should be sure to attend the

UKTI Breakfast Briefing on Thursday morning.

Partnerships are essential to getting ACT projects off the ground, and this year we are facilitating one-to-one

meetings alongside the summit. If you haven’t already organised your meeting schedule, please see a member

of the Rethink team.

I would like to thank our corporate sponsors Atkins, Kobelco Eco-Solutions, Dong Energy, Broadcrown, Advanced

Plasma Power, Ebioss Energy, Westinghouse Plasma and Nabarro for their support for the summit, as well as our

exhibitors LeRoux & Lotz Technologies and all our event partners.

As we look ahead to next year’s event, please take the time to share

with us your thoughts, feedback and suggestions so that we can

continue to build the summit as an annual meeting place for the

international waste-to-energy industry.

I wish all of you a fruitful and enjoyable summit.

Yours,

Jennie Moss
