The clean technology (cleantech) global movement offers great opportunities for New Zealand. This workshop is a call to action for NZ businesses of all sizes. The world is moving to a low carbon economy, with some countries already committing large resources to cleantech solutions. Business people must understand the opportunities and implications, or be left behind:

• What are key forms of clean technology?
• What are the branding, revenue, cost saving and other benefits to all businesses from embracing cleantech?
• What is Phillip Mills' big hairy audacious cleantech goal to transform the economy?
• What are the wide ranging New Zealand and overseas cleantech projects that show that cleantech is already the way of the future?
• What are the clean technology offerings that global markets and investors are hungry for?
• All businesses use energy. This workshop is of direct relevance to every shareholder, manager, director and investor.

The scope of the Financial Advisers Act and the Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute Resolution) Act is now essentially finalised, following the passing of amending Bills into law last month.  Substantial last-minute changes addressed many of the concerns raised on the legislation.  Now the shouting is over, it’s time to start acting on implementation.     

In addition to summarising the new law, this seminar will cover:

·         how the legislation will now affect different businesses, including those that operate in wholesale markets only and those with cross-border operations

·         who needs to do what, by when, to comply with the new regime

·         the pros and cons of the new group QFE model

·         the updated draft Code of Professional Conduct for Authorised Financial Advisers, and 

·         the dispute resolution scheme arrangements.

Any questions you send through before the session will be gratefully received. Please email your question to events@chapmantripp.com.
