We all know that the oil supply is changing so easy reserves are nearly exhausted. This
leads to high oil prices and the security of supply of fossil fuels. All of this will have a
tremendous impact on many sectors of our society.
Rather than perceiving this as a threat to our way of life, a transition to a less
oil-dependent society will also offer visionary people and industries many new (commercial)
opportunities to benefit from this changing playing field.
At 'The Permanent Oil Crisis: Challlenges and Opportunities', many experts from the field
will share their vision, and indicate where opportunities exist for the European business world.
We look forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam on 21 and 22 January 2009!
