“The Future of Energy is not Texas oil, it’s California sun.” –Governor Jerry Brown
There may be troubled times in the global economy and in Washington, but California and San Diego continue to pursue coherent and collaborative policies, green start-ups and job creation. Over 810 CleanTech companies have taken root in San Diego during the Great Recession.
At the state level, Governor Brown and the legislature are aggressively pursuing goals that will drive Green Job creation and carbon emission reduction.
At the same time, sometimes it's hard to find reality-based information on the status and future of jobs in the Green/Clean sector. This San Diego CleanTech Beach event is designed to empower your Green career, start-up or community efforts with cutting-edge briefings from leaders in the Green sector. Information is power!
We have created an affordable event with free parking, free appetizers, and high quality briefings to make participation easy for you. Register today, Space is limited! Please encourage your friends and colleagues to attend as well. Thank you!
