Event - "Greener, Cleaner, Better: Israeli Innovation in Greentech"

[Sarah Howell]

Dear Sustainable DC Working Groups- 

I unfortunately have not been able to get to some of the working group meetings as I had wanted to, however I thought I would pass along an event on green innovation, energy solutions, and technologies. I thought some of you would be interesting in attending. Please see this email, the attached flier and the link to register for more information. 

Thank you!

"Greener, Cleaner, Better: Israeli Innovation in Greentech"

Tuesday, February 7th, 9:30-4 pm

Abramson Family Founders Room, SIS Building, American University

Please come to this great upcoming event on green economy and energy solutions hosted by American University's Center for Israel Studies, and co-hosted by AU's Dept. of Environmental Science, Kogod School of Business, the School of Public Affairs, and the Global Environmental Policy Program at the School of International Service.

RSVP here to join us on Tuesday, Feb. 7.  Meet industry experts and Israeli Entrepreneurs (Better Place, Panoramic Power, Brightsource, Rotec and more)...   

Join Israeli entrepreneurs and industry experts to learn why the tiny country of Israel has become an innovative market leader in Green technology. (Energy, water and agricultural technology, smart-grid/communications, green IT, power electronics and more. Hint: it's NOT because their scientists are smarter)

The Conference will highlight three themes: new thinking on green technologies and ecosystems, the unique Israeli success in this sector, and the special regional/political issues.

The lunchtime Keynote address will be delivered by Michael Granoff of Better Place, the electric vehicle company.
