Ecobuild 2012 takes place between Tuesday 20th March and
Thursday 22nd March 2012 at ExCel, London
2012 could be the year East Midlands construction-based
businesses make that all important break into the market place. The
Sustainable Construction iNet (iNet), the Daventry-based
organisation which identifies and assists businesses developing
innovative techniques and services for the construction industry,
is offering an exclusive opportunity for up to 20 SMEs to join them
and exhibit at Ecobuild, the world's biggest event for sustainable
design, construction and the built environment.
At Ecobuild 2011, iNet partnered and subsidised 15 of the East
Midlands' most innovative firms, exposing them to over 50,000
visitors throughout the three day event. This year, iNet wants to
maximise this opportunity and is calling for even more companies to
partner them at Ecobuild 2012, which takes place between Tuesday
20th March and Thursday 22nd March 2012 at ExCel, London.
Charles Meynell, senior innovation advisor said: "The UK
construction sector is facing one of its most difficult periods in
recent years, funding has dried up and orders have slowed yet the
demand on firms to be greener higher than ever. I believe we have
to innovate our way out of trouble and develop new techniques and
products which can help bring the sector and the economy back into
shape. By exhibiting at Ecobuild with iNet, we are offering SMEs a
shop window to showcase their products and services to a
multi-national, targeted audience for a fraction of the real cost.
It is an opportunity not to be missed."
Mick Baines, MD, InterLED, who exhibited at Ecobuild 2011
commented: "We have been exceedingly busy since Ecobuild and have
visited an NHS regional trust with 84 buildings which is looking to
trial our products in their headquarters."
Businesses already signed up for this year's event include:
Derbyshire-based EKV Design and Beresford's Flooring Ltd,
Nottinghamshire-based Hertalan Waste Plan Solutions and Banbury
Innovations, Leicestershire-based Metz Architects and Eco Trackway
& PRIMA Flooring and Northamptonshire Enterprise
Partnership.
