Championing Green Growth …

Globally, markets are witnessing an accelerated uptake of green technology and eco products. The enthusiasm of the populace is further complemented by the government’s policies and regulations, such as the Feed in Tariff scheme (FiT) which is managed by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA), a statutory body under the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA). Businesses must manifest the intelligent alignment to harness the many green opportunities arising from the various policies and public demand. To this end, the IGEM series will be making every effort to advance, commercialize and grow green technology, eco products and services within domestic shores and beyond.

Themed “Greentech for Growth”, the 3rd International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition & Conference Malaysia (IGEM2012) aims to help push the rapid adoption of green technology to deliver a double impact of sustainable economic growth as well as to address the environmental and energy security issues.

The Author, Chef Trakool Yodsuk, or better known as Chef Korn, was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand. Spending most of his adolescence in the kitchen observing his mother whenever she cooked, he soon picked up an interest in the culinary industry.

Before pursuing his culinary career, Chef Korn was an artist specializing in acrylic painting. He also traded in art collections. In April 2009, Chef Korn, a graduate with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and administration, partnered a business associate and opened Erawan, a restaurant serving authentic and fusion Thai food.
