companies like ours, that has the possibility of having a differentiated product and
doing something bigger.

“Once again you pulled off a remarkable
conference. Heard only great
feedback. The testimony is the quality of
the people that came and its better each
year. If there is one conference to go to,
this is the one.”

“The last three days in Munich have
been most valuable to me personally

The Palacio Euskalduna will host the Cleantech Forum Europe from 16 to 18 April 2013
The Palacio Euskalduna Conference Centre embodies one of the key elements in the transformation of Bilbao, emerging from a dry dock where the Euskalduna shipyard once stood, an obvious tribute to the metalworking and shipbuilding tradition of the Bilbao river estuary.

Guggenheim Bilbao Museum was built between October 1993 and October
1997, and the chosen location, at an old port and industrial wharf, meant the
recovery of the river for the city and its re-urbanization for the culture and
leisure.
