6th Annual Clean-Tech Investor Summit
Presented in conjunction with Clean Edge
Conference Date: January 20-21, 2010

 

Conference Venue: Renaissance Esmeralda
Resort & Spa at Indian Wells
Palm Springs, CA

"Fostering Innovation & Investment Opportunities in Clean Technologies"

Conference Overview : The Clean-Tech Investor Summit, co-produced by International Business Forum and Clean Edge, and chaired by Technology Partners' Ira Ehrenpreis, is the premier clean-tech investment and innovation event of the year. Held each winter in Palm Springs, CA, the event brings together leading investors, Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and service providers for two days of high-level presentations, conversations, and networking. Attendance is capped at 500 registrants to guarantee the optimum networking experience.

Investors, multinationals, and governments are all seizing the multi-billion dollar clean-tech opportunity – creating and deploying new and innovative technologies that compete on price and performance while reducing pollution, waste, and resource use. But which technologies will win or lose? What business models will succeed or fail? How will the next generation of policies and financing options impact development?

Each year participants come to The Clean-Tech Investor Summit to learn the answer to these questions and more. The event has become widely recognized as the premier event for active investors to network with major corporations and emerging clean-tech companies. As a sponsor, your organization is guaranteed strategic visibility as a leading service provider in the clean-tech space. Your company’s involvement with the summit will ensure new business prospects.

Intersolar North America Brings Global Business-to-Business Leaders to San Francisco

Solar Exhibition and Conference opens today through July 16

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Intersolar North America, the most diverse global business-to-business exhibition in the United States dedicated to the transformation of the solar marketplace, today opened its doors to a registered 17,000 attendees. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom joins more than 170 conference speakers at 25 conference tracks, to discuss market trends and issues facing the solar industry such as reaching grid parity, federal and state policies, emerging and existing technology innovations and the growth opportunities in the North American market.

"We are happy to host Intersolar North America in San Francisco, which is proud to be a leader in clean technology development," said Mayor Newsom. "Intersolar provides our local and global solar businesses with the opportunity to further develop the state of the solar market, making clean energy an achievable goal for us all."

Co-located with SEMICON West and co-organized with PV Group, the global photovoltaic initiative of SEMI, Intersolar North America presents more than 560 solar exhibitors at both locations from 23 countries worldwide. This week's events are designed to facilitate international connections between solar companies from all areas of the supply chain that make up the $50 billion international solar industry.

Intersolar North America sees triple growth in one year

Earlier this year, the growing demand in booth sales prompted organizers to open another level in Moscone West, tripling the size of last year's exhibition and bringing the 2009 total floor space to approximately 120,000 net square feet, accommodating 444 international exhibitors at Moscone West Hall alone. Growth and development themes carry over into the 30 Innovation Exchange presentations which take place throughout the week as well, highlighting new and emerging technologies, training programs for solar jobs and growing solar businesses in the U.S. and worldwide.

"Both the exhibition and conference have grown faster than we ever imagined in just two years," said Professor Eicke R. Weber, Intersolar North America Committee Chairman and Director, Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Freiburg, Germany. "With so many critical issues facing the solar industry today, the economy included, Intersolar North America provides companies an opportunity to learn from each other and connect to grow their own businesses."
