Enormous efforts are being made worldwide to deal with climate change – much of which is directly traceable to the use of “dirty” technologies. Governments, affected industries and others are working intensively to develop alternative, renewable energy replacements for traditional fossil fuels.
Business executives, lawyers, government officials and other public policymakers are playing a crucial role in developing the necessary strategies to solve this pressing problem. Southwestern Law School are bringing these decision makers together at the “First Annual Summit on CleanTech Law and Energy Policy.”
Issues to be discussed at the Summit include:
· Which opportunities do new federal policy offer the renewable energy sector?
· How can CleanTech companies access the close to $ 80 billion in the Federal Stimulus Package allocated for renewables?
· What further incentives are offered at the California state level?
· Are cities leading the way?
· How can CleanTech companies benefit the strengthened mix of local to federal incentives?
· How can Clean Tech company collaborate with public and private research and protect their investment?
· How do evolving federal and state business models compare to those of renewable’s world market leaders?
These issues, and many more, will be addressed by well known experts on federal, state and local initiatives, clean tech research, patent protection, and renewable energy models from other countries.
The Summit is an excellent opportunity to expand your network of important government and private-sector players, and to increase yours or your clients’ renewable energy business in California and other regional U.S. markets.
