Next week the Ashden Awards holds its first event to showcase Indian sustainable energy talent. The event brings together 10 Indian Ashden Award winners - a range of ground breaking organisations and businesses that are tackling climate change and poverty through biogas, solar, improved stoves and other approaches.

Top of the agenda will be how energy can be used to develop India, and what business models can be used to scale up local green energy technologies to the national level.

Speakers will include the Director General of the Confederation of Indian Industry, Dr Chandrajit Banerjee, Sarah Butler Sloss, founder director of the Ashden Awards, and presenters from 10 Indian Ashden Award winners.

The event is held in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry.
