At a point in time where the success of Jatropha investments are hinging on a better understanding of the crop, JatrophaWorld 2008 rode high on the enthusiasm surrounding Jatropha's potential as Biodiesel feedstock and a source of renewable energy and poverty alleviation.

JatrophaWorld 2008 saw over 350 Jatropha experts, industry players and entrepreneurs from 40 countries convening at the summit, which presented a snapshot of the Jatropha markets and industry.

Organized by CMT-Centre for Management Technology, the event attracted a wide portfolio of delegates including bankers, venture capitalists, investors, financiers, Biodiesel producers, plantation owners, entrepreneurs, scientists, agronomists and government officials.

The expert panelists at the conference covered a wide range of topics that presented an excellent overview and overall summary of all the latest developments in Jatropha to date.

The topics and issues discussed at the event included Jatropha plantation management in Southeast Asia, the latest on Jatropha Agronomy and genetics research, new developments in oil extraction and processing, the status of development in mechanical harvesting technologies, irrigation technologies and current and future applications of Jatropha and its by-products.

Discussions on Carbon trading and CDM financing explored alternative revenue streams for Jatropha investors. The social economics of Jatropha, and its impact on rural development was also examined and discussed with a wide variety of views expressed on Jatropha's role as a tool for poverty alleviation.

Mr. Cheung Siu Ming, Executive Director of Oleo Bioenergy Investments based in China rated JatrophaWorld 2008 as "Valuable to the investors and other companies involved in Jatropha Biodiesel" echoing the sentiments of the delegates who were at the event.

Mr. Trevor Newbold, CEO of NOILS, based in the Bahamas, commented that "The presentations were most informative and the information shared CURRENT."

JatrophaWorld 2008 saw huge numbers of investors looking for the right opportunities, and project developers looking for investors. The ten hours of business networking opportunities created a positive environment for the striking of deals.

Mr. Paul Dalton, CEO of Dream Fuels Ltd., based in the US, reported having "met TWO investors who are VERY interested in investing into my project in the US and Costa Rica".

Mr. Paul Dalton is one in many success stories amongst the JatrophaWorld 2008 delegates. Many delegates who were there to meet the their fellow investors and the speakers provided glowing testimonials on meeting the "right people" during these events.

Mr. Marc Stammbach, Director of MBD Biodiesel, based in Australia, comments reflect these opinions, when he said that "important business connections were developed in networking events"

JatrophaWorld 2008 Delegates also had the opportunity to visit a fully operational Jatropha plantation in Sukabumi, West Java. Delegates were taken on a tour of the vast acreage, and then participated in a lively discussion on plantation management techniques during the question and answer session.

The JatrophaWorld 2008 phenomenon is now going to the United States.
