    conference quote

    "From a purely economic perspective, finding the new driver of our economy is going to be critical. There is no better potential driver that pervades all aspects of our economy than a new energy economy. - Barack Obama"

    2009 will be a belt-tightening year, with venture and private equity investors forced to conserve capital. Despite several challenges, the fundamental driver of the Cleantech industry – innovation – remains strong. Crisis is not necessarily a bad thing, tomorrow’s leading companies are being formed today.
