The Swiss Business Hubs and Swissnex hosted an Energy Day on the 8th August at the House of Switzerland at the Olympic Games. The aim of the day was to learn about, present, debate, produce and save energy in order to reach a common goal. Ecoinvent was present with posters providing visitors an introduction to life cycling thinking. Moreover, ecoinvent's Executive Director, Gregor Wernet, took part in a panel discussion.
This page provides an overview of the events of the day.
