GEOTHERMALWORKSHOP.

WELCOME

Nā tō rourou, nā takurourou ka ora ai te iwi

ナ ト ロウロウ、ナ タクロウロウ カ オラ アイテ イゥイ
Welcome to the 2017
Japan – New ZealandGeothermal Workshop.

With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive.
The proverb encapsulates the notion that while working in isolation might
result in survival, working together can take people beyond survival andonto prosperity.

お互いの食物を分かち合えば皆が栄える。この諺は、孤立して働くことは生存につながるかもしれないが、一緒に働くことは人々を生存以上に繁栄に導くことができるという概念を現しています。

Following a successful meeting in Tokyo in 2016, it is our pleasure tohost the workshop this year at Holiday Inn, in Rotorua, New Zealand.
The focus of the 2017 Workshop is ‘Sharing our Experience ofSustainable Geothermal Developments.’
This Workshop provides an opportunity for Japanese and New Zealandgeothermal commercial and research leaders to build strong relationships
of mutual benefit. We see the Workshop as a time to share geothermalscience, engineering, development and community experiences that
expand understanding and knowledge, and promote domestic andinternational collaboration.
In 2017, it is our great pleasure to welcome more than 40 attendees fromJapan to Rotorua – who represent the Japanese geothermal industry,
city office and Prefectural Governments, and research agencies. Inaddition, we anticipate more than 60 participants from the New Zealandgeothermal community will join the Workshop.
The Workshop will comprise a series of invited presentations and informal
dinner on 20th November, and a choice of two field trips for Japaneseparticipants on 21st November.
In true “kiwi style”, we aim for the Workshop to be fairly informal, but itwill provide an opportunity for you to ask questions, gain insight, anddevelop business and personal connections that we hope will flourish inthe future.
皆さまの「日本-ニュージーランド地熱ワークショップ2017」へのご参加を歓迎します。
