Strategic Objective
Andrew Bowerbank and his team are developing a comprehensive reference book for international distribution to support the projects,
workshops, market reports and keynote addresses he conducts around the world. The book will be developed in collaboration with industry
leaders and used as an engagement tool to communicate across interest groups, leverage new market opportunities, and support
awareness.
Book Premise
Since the dawn of the first Industrial Revolution, our social and economic condition has been defined by the technologies, materials and processes that comprise our built environment. Today, global leaders across sectors are now confronted by the limitations of our energy dependence, and we are witnessing an attempt to shift technology development towards cleaner fuel sources and high-performance systems to meet the demands of our rising populations.
This book will explore the technological advancements being implemented by industry leaders around the world in response to our environmental condition and review new market strategies that will support our economic priorities over the coming century.
