Agrion is a professional community that gathers industrial and service companies which share the same issues related to energy, raw materials and sustainable development. Agrion is both a think tank and a network that tackles concrete problems - such as energy substitutes, plastics made without Oil, logistic costs… - and provides short and middle term solutions.

Agrion concerns every department of the company: general management, production, engineering, logistics, supply, analysts, buying managers, financial directors, etc.

Activities:

• The Commissions
  The committees are meetings that are held once a month from 8:30am to 10:30am/12pm (the actual duration depends on the complexity of the topic under discussion), covering highly concrete issues; they include presentations, debates and demonstrations.
  

6 different committees are programmed:
•    Hydrocarbons and Substitutes
•    Electrical Energy
•    Raw Materials
•    Transport
•    Sustainable Development
•    Consumption
The detailed programme of forthcoming committees can be viewed here.

• The Workshops
  The content of the committees is sufficiently easy to be followed by analysts, managers or buyers. Engineers, chemists and geologists who wish to delve in greater depth into specific technology issues (such as the hydrogen economy for instance) are welcome to form ad hoc workgroups.

• Agrion International Meeting
  Each year, at the end of June, Agrion gathers its members of all three geographical zones in which it is represented (Europe, Japan and China) for a day of debating and networking. This meeting is recorded in an annual report which presents the state of progress of the issues dealt with by the community.

• News and Forums
  Agrion’s website is to become the central reference for news and forums about energy, raw materials and sustainable development. Concerning the use of foreign languages, the general principle specifies that local activities are managed in local languages (such as French, German and Chinese) while written contributions are necessarily written in English. The aim is to permit all the readers to take part at the discussions.
  

• International Implantations
  Agrion is creating local business communities in countries where industry still stands for a large portion in the raw domestic product. The first four destinations are: France, Germany, Japan and China.
