NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR'S GREEN ECONOMY CONFERENCE
Newleef is the Newfoundland and Labrador Economy and the Environment Forum. It is an annual conference
aimed at building new relationships within the green economy in the province; strengthening existing ones; identifying
business opportunities; energizing participants in the sector; and learning from one another.
Now in its third year,
Newleef explores business opportunities within the green economy; aims to
foster sector innovation; navigates environmental issues with a focus on solutions; highlights the products, services, and
activities of organizations operating in the province; and builds sector capacity through the delivery of
training and professional development seminars.
Newleef is the premier conference for businesses and organizations in Newfoundland and Labrador
working to grow the environmental sector of the economy.
EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES
With a strong provincial economy, green economic growth
opportunities exist in all of the province's major industries and continues to be expanded through modern planning and
infrastructure investments by our municipalities. Recent reports suggest that Newfoundland and Labrador's green economy has the capacity to add over 3,000 jobs to
the provincial economy by the year 2020.
Newleef provides a forum for decision makers - and those interested in the
sector - to learn more about the opportunities ahead so that we can achieve these high growth objectives.
FOSTERING INNOVATION
Innovation is important ingredient in the advancement of the environmental sector,
and inextricably linked to productivity and growth. One of
Newleef's featured events is its
Research Matching Hub.
Here, environmental sector-related research is presented in rapid-fire succession to the audience, and a networking space is provided
to help build new relationships between academia and business.
