Malcolm Turnbull and Mike Cannon-Brookes to Headline National Smart Energy Summit, Hilton Hotel

Smart Energy Council

Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and billionaire investor and renewables champion, Mike Cannon-Brookes, will be the keynote speakers at Australia’s biggest ever renewable energy summit at the Sydney Hilton Hotel today.

They will join big Australian businesses and renewables industry CEOs in showing how and why companies are embracing renewables and taking action on climate change.

Companies with a collective market capital and assets under management of $300 billion will tell the Summit they are investing in renewables not just because they want to reduce their carbon emissions but because they see renewables as a huge business opportunity.
