More about the event:
Clean Tech innovation is hard.
While entrepreneurs and energy advocates recognize that there is a critical need
to meet an increasing demand for energy generation, after the rise and fall of
clean energy companies like Solyndra, total VC funding is dwindling and
political pressures are mounting. As a result, those who are passionate about
the issue must operate under lean, bootstrap conditions to meet current demands
and drive innovation for the future.
Event Lead:
Vish Kulkarni (sil...@netimpact.org)
At this event, you will:
- Network with other Net Impact Members Learn about current and future trends
in clean energy and disruptive innovations
- Understand more about economic and political pressures on the industry
- Listen to panelists discuss their challenges, successes and how they got
involved
- Leave the event with new inspiration and an informed view about next
generation solar, wind and clean energy technology in Silicon Valley.
