Testimonials
Here are some rave reviews from delegates who attended JatrophaWorld 2008 in Jakarta last January:
“I chose JatrophaWorld because of the opportunity to meet industry players, and get them all in one place at one time, to meet up and communicate our ideas and strategies, and also seek investment partners.
Attending the conference has certainly served its purpose. We had the chance to meet with a number of investment houses and discuss strategies and ways forward. The whole conference has given us a great chance to sit down with people and discuss at length how we want to move forward. It brings everybody together in one place at one time.”
~ Andrew Steel, Managing Director, Equitech, Thailand
“I wanted to come to a conference where everyone had their attention drawn to this unique tree, Jatropha that can provide fuel not at the expense of food and not at the expense of the environment. I want to applaud your organization on the quality of your speakers and the organization of your staff.
With regard to JatrophaWorld Miami, people should come because, in Florida Labland and my company, Dream Fuels, have an extensive array of over one million Jatropha curcas trees. And this is something that people attending the conference in Miami would have an opportunity to visit.”
~ Paul S. Dalton, CEO, DreamBiofuels, USA
“I really enjoyed JatrophaWorld as I learnt a lot and had a lot of my thinking confirmed by various speakers. We are looking for funds and I knew that there would be Jatropha financiers coming to the conference. So that made it very important to be here. Also, it was important to be here as so many companies from all over the world are here. And it is very interesting to meet and have discussions with them all.
I think the after hours networking opportunities have been very important as so often at conferences it is hard to follow up and get to know important new contacts.”
~ Eric Pinard, Vice Chairman, Makgnao Bio Energy Import-Export Co. Ltd, Laos
“From a networking standpoint I would say that JatrophaWorld 2008 has proven to be absolutely invaluable with respect to obtaining new contacts. I did come to this conference with certain objectives most of which have been met. Because this is a new industry, it’s extremely difficult to have all of one’s objectives met. However with the contacts that I’ve made here, I can readily see that the information that I need, will soon be made available.
I’m very pleased to find out that there will be a JatrophaWorld in Miami, because it’s taking place in the United States, in a potentially huge market.”
~ George J Stoulil, CEO, AgroAfrica, Norway
~ Rob Coghill, Managing Director, Indochine Resources, Australia
“If there is any main attraction that JatrophaWorld had to offer it was the line up of speakers and the topics that they were putting on. JatrophaWorld has helped me in many ways. It has helped me validate some of my own experiences and also learn new things aside from my own experience. I’ve learned things here that I think would have taken me years to learn on my own. The speakers have been very enlightening. I’ve been doing Jatropha for more than three years now. So, I was here not like a greenhorn. It has made my learning curve much steeper.”
~ Rodolfo Noel l Lozarda Jr., President, Philippine Forest Corporation, Philippines
The speakers have been wonderful. Content has been very enriching and, in many cases, also an in-depth and very good understanding of the issues facing Jatropha.
I would definitely recommend attending JatrophaWorld. If you really want to learn, to know, to meet up with people, and even the opportunity to strike deals, this is it. This is THE program for Jatropha.”
~ Lim Chin Soon, COO, Forest Hills Pte. Ltd, Singapore
It has been interesting as well to hear about plans from the government and the regional government perspective on the industry. And finally, we got some very good impression of the way it’s connected to the institutional research effort. So, I definitely suggest to other people to attend JatrophaWorld Miami because I will be attending that conference as well!”
