Entrepreneurs, tech executives, investors, policy-makers, and other stakeholders have been analyzing the burgeoning clean energy industry, both from the technology side and from the business opportunity side. From the technology side, we are leveraging learnings and successes from many industries, from the semi-conductor and automobile industry to the nanotechnology and life science industries, to the chemistry and geology industries. From the business side, we are seeing the potential global impact of clean energy solutions, identifying the need for partnerships locally and globally, and examining the implications of policy on clean energy entrepreneurs. This annual event will bring together policy-makers, corporate executives, entrepreneurs and investors, presenting differing perspectives on ‘Policy and Its Implications for the Clean Energy Entrepreneur’.
