2010 Exhibitors

Phoenix Square

Phoenix Square is a unique multi-purpose building with plenty to offer businesses. We are home to a state-of-the art film and digital media centre with production, editing and gaming facilities and a popular cafe/bar.  Regular networking events are held and the Phoenix Square Business Club provides an opportunity for members to meet and exchange views whilst obtaining benefits for their company, such as hosting their own events in our meeting and conferencing facilities or making the most of the building's entertainment facilities through a bespoke hospitality package.  On site there are also managed work spaces available to lease ranging in size from 20m2 to 90m2 and self-contained two story offices available to lease or buy. Come and find us at Vision2020 and see what we can do for you.

RiverSimple

Riversimple will showcase its technology demonstrator vehicle, which was unveiled in June 2009.  The car is a development platform for Riversimple's powertrain technology, designed to show what is possible with today's technology. Riversimple, a small Shropshire company, aims to launch a fleet of 50-60 prototypes in 2012, with a number having been bought by Leicester City Council for local testing.  The car is a two seat local Network Electric car, powered by hydrogen fuel cells and with a body made from composite materials, a top speed of 50 mph (80kmh), can accelerate from 0-30mph in 5.5 seconds, has a range of 240 miles (380 km) and has an energy consumption equivalent to 300 miles per gallon on petrol.  A member of the Riversimple team will be on hand to show you the car which will be on display in Phoenix Square during Vision2020.

"...these tiny cars represent the future. Because instead of running on electricity from the mains, its produced by a chemical reaction within the car itself. A reaction that produces nothing but heat and water" - Jeremy Clarkson.

DMU

Experts from De Montfort University will be on hand to discuss knowledge transfer opportunities. We will also have information available about the Institute of Creative Technologies, Institute of Energy & Sustainable Development, the new Retail Lab as well as the Design & New Product Development Centre.

Frosts Landscapes

Frosts Landscape Construction Ltd is family run business with over 60 years horticultural experience, and specialise in a number of markets. The company has played a major part in installing some of the largest and most technical projects in the UK, and has installed many green roofs, our first being some 25 years ago. Last year Frosts were commissioned to design, supply and erect 1100m2 of green wall extending up to the 11th floor of the new City Inn hotel, in Pepys Street, London. A total of 188,000 plants will be required to complete the project, and we believe this is the tallest area of live green wall on a building in Europe. It has caused great excitement to see the green wall erected, and Frosts look forward to growing the Green Roof and Living Wall business to new heights… At the Frosts stand, examples of the living wall plant modules will be displayed, and a member of the Frosts’ team will be pleased to discuss the living wall and green/brown/biodiversity roofs Vision with you.
