* To be held from at Mumbai, India from 6th Feb – 8th Feb 2014, WTCE is the only platform for the Hot Beverage sector in India attracting a global trade audience.

Mumbai, India, June 13, 2013 — The 2nd Edition of “World Tea & Coffee Expo”™ ( http://www.worldteacoffeeexpo.com ), India’s only trade fair dedicated to the Tea & Coffee sectors, is being held at Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, India from Thursday 6th Feb 2014 to Saturday 8th Feb 2014. In view of the enthusiastic response from Exhibitors and Visitors – both Indian as well as International – the 2nd edition is being held at a bigger venue to accommodate larger number of Exhibitors and visitors. This event will also include a Conference, Workshops and Seminars which will be addressed by industry leaders from India and abroad. Over a 100 Exhibitors from 8 countries are likely to display their products and technologies related to the Hot Beverage sector to an audience of 6000 decision makers from about 15 countries.

India is witnessing a growth in its Domestic Tea & Coffee consumption largely thanks to the mushrooming of upmarket cafes and retail chains which are mostly frequented by students and young professionals exposed to western way of life. The coffee retail business in India is valued at over Rs 8 billion and growing at 6% annually with the potential space for nearly 3,000 coffee retail outlets. The Indian tea industry – pegged at Rs 6000 crore – is the second largest in the world. As the domestic demand for Tea gets stronger manufacturers and brands are investing in modernization and improving quality in order to consolidate gains and improve global competitiveness. Wider health awareness is making people opt for the health benefits of Herbal/Green tea as against aerated drinks which have adverse health impact in the long run.

In addition to showcasing of brands, products, machinery & technologies, a business-to-business (b2b) match-making program will form an integral part of WTCE’s 2014 show strategy. Sentinel Exhibitions Asia P Ltd, the organizer, has also planned an aggressive national and international marketing campaign designed to attract the largest number of buyers. The 2014 edition has a larger budget for promotions and advertising which will include leading local & national Newspapers, Trade Magazines, Direct mailing, TV Channels, Bus Backs, Hoardings etc. Offline and Online PR too will be given a lot of emphasis.

Family Wealth Office Managing Director for CI Investments, SFO of Switzerland, Mr. Gordon “Grant” Curtis, has been invited to address Opal Group’s Energy Forum Conference attendees June 10-11.

Ticino, Switzerland, June 10, 2013 — Family Wealth Office Managing Director for CI Investments, SFO of Switzerland, Mr. Gordon “Grant” Curtis, has been invited to address Opal Group’s Energy Forum Conference attendees June 10-11. The focus of the conference highlights renewable versus fossil energy sources and what are the possible investment strategies available poised for big returns.

Mr. Curtis has lead CI Investments, Family Office of Switzerland since 2004. The Office continues to outpace most all other peers relative to rates of returns and creative strategies for achieving same. According to Mr. Curtis, “we look for specific and unique opportunities that can provide lowered risk while yielding the types of returns that we seek. You won’t find us allocating capital to a bond fund or traditional stock fund as these do not meet our intended goals. The energy sector now provides a bridge between technological advancements and high energy prices that when properly mixed can be very exciting.”

Impact Investing using socially responsible metrics have been a hallmark for CI and the Family desires. The goal is to deploy capital in a way that it can respect the immediate and long terms needs as well as to take advantage of a market in the energy sector that is presently highly stable in terms of demand and supply and costs.

Fortunately, the response by industry, lead by car manufacturers has really started to show some traction relative to more environmentally responsible principles. New discoveries poised for leaps in technological advances such as graphene, will certainly have significant effects over time, but for the next 5-10 years, the path of least resistance will still be oil based.

At the heart of fossil fuel technology evaluation, you will find Mr. Gordon “Grant” Curtis sifting through the almost endless possibilities of mixing one with another to reap a reward not yet discovered. “I like to innovate and work with innovators. None of us have ego issues; we just want to strive for better and more efficient strategies to do the right thing and make more returns for those that trust in us to do so.”
