Understanding the Risks and Opportunities of Extreme Weather and Climate Change

For 2017 InterMET Asia will be bringing you their best conference to date - providing you with a unique opportunity to better understand two things about how extreme weather will impact business and society:

Firstly, the risks that increasingly extreme weather events and climate change pose for public and private enterprises, and how to manage and mitigate them.

Secondly, the enormous business opportunities that exist in the development of products and services, and in building public-private sector co-operation to manage and mitigate the risks and the impact of extreme weather and climate change.

No other event attempts to deal with extreme weather and climate change in this way.

But the fact is that the opportunity to provide extreme weather and climate change mitigation solutions is enormous and exists across the board. It embraces: The collection and analysis of data, the provision of bespoke forecasting services, the design of resilient and adaptable infrastructure, the provision of resilient and adaptable public and private sector services, ranging from healthcare and energy, to transport, food and water, and telecommunications.

InterMET Asia-Extreme Weather Expo will make clear the huge scale of the potential applications for weather and climate data, and associated products and services, and provide a detailed insight into the market opportunities that are opening up for the global public-private global weather enterprise.

And in co-operation with the World Bank and the Global Facility for Disaster Risk Reduction (GFDRR), we'll also be highlighting just how important co-operation is between the private and public sectors to the development of this market.
