Guests from key parts of UK industry and service sectors were invited to join key speakers Professor Ian Bryden of The University of Edinburgh, and Martin Wright from Marine Current Turbines, to discuss the topic ‘Ecology and Technology – Renewable Energy for tidal and wave power’
The forum is held to underline Bosch’s commitment to industrial excellence and to the environment by opening up a platform for debate on key environmental and industrial issues.
Robert Meier, Managing Director of Bosch in the UK opened the forum by showing Bosch’s involvement with the topic at hand.
He told how in 2005 Bosch spent over 3 billion euros on research and development, to keep them at the leading edge of technology.
Meier says ‘It is an obligation to develop innovative and beneficial technologies that also contribute to the conservation of precious reserves’
Both key speakers told of the importance of renewable energy sources and the difficulties that this energy sector is facing.
