After four successful annual Cleantech CEO Panels, SJF is expanding our event in 2009. This event, featuring keynotes by Nicholas Parker of Cleantech Group LLC, Jeff Wolfe of groSolar, Majora Carter of Majora Carter Group, NC State Treasurer Janet Cowell and Martin Eakes of Self-Help Credit Union, brings private company CEOs and investors together with government and community leaders. Join us and be inspired by innovative businesses and organizations which are creating green jobs, and take away useful strategies, policies and best practices for your company, organization or region.
Happy to attend.
Great roster of CEOs of leading cleantech companies from across U.S speaking, including CleanScapes, Intechra, Salvage Direct, groSolar, Native Energy, Biogen, Clean Power Finance, Southern Energy Management, Prenova, Thrift Recycling Management and many more!
I am looking forward to participating. The Center for Economic Options (CEO) is developing a new model - the Green Business Accelerator - in West Virginia and we hope to learn, share, and make good connections at this event. CEO's website is: www.economicoptions.org
I look forward to meeting other folks passionate about green economy opportunities for North Carolina. For those of you who could not attend the North Carolina State Energy Office's 6th Annual Sustainable Energy Conference, the presentations are now available on our website at www.energync.net. Many of the sessions were focused on cleantech, the green economy, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act as related to energy.
I'll just be returning from InterSolar - Germany. I look forward to sharing the latest from Europe as well as the US in my Keynote Wednesday on how solar creates green jobs while also fighting climate change and creating energy security.
This article in the NY Times yesterday discusses the increasing investor interest in capital-efficient cleantech business models, a focus of SJF Ventures'investment strategy. You'll be able to hear from a number of cleantech CEOs with capital efficient-downstream business models at the Summit! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/11/technology/start-ups/11green.html?_r=1&emc=eta1
Seems like a great range of discussion topics and speakers. I'm keen to speak with entrepreneurs that are bringing software and internet enhanced business solutions to bear on cleantech.
This just-released announcement gives a lot of good information on the SJF Summit on the New Green Economy. http://www.csrwire.com/News/15448.html

I will be attending with Sarah Morgan from the Lyndhurst Foundation. Chattanooga has some really exciting Cleantech stuff happening. Because of this we are creating a Cleantech corridor on the Southside of Chattanooga. We are excited to come to this conference and we are really looking forward to meeting some of the best in the industry. If anyone has any ideas about people we should see before we leave, please let me know. Thanks!
I look forward to re-connecting with some of the folks from the sustainable business meeting Katy Ansardi convened in Chapel Hill yesterday! And I always hope to discover some "green" entrepreneurship opportunities for rural NC.
I am looking forward to attending the Summit and meeting some Venture Capital groups and foundations with green tech in mind. ARI Green Energy, Inc is a startup company in wind power for residetial and light industrial applications. We are currently seeking venture capital partners. Please drop me a note if you would like to meet and chat during the SJF Summit.
I'm interested in who has corporate strategies for sustainability that include cost/energy/water reduction technologies; who is buying cleantech and how they are approaching it.
