FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
The conference will feature presentations by nearly 60 public and private companies, from emerging growth companies to established industry leaders, addressing global energy and water supply, conservation and security issues. This one day investor event will feature a diverse range of companies within the clean technology sector including those engaged in biofuels, energy efficiency, energy infrastructure, energy storage, geothermal power, industrial biotechnology, smart grid technologies, solar power, wind power, water power and water treatment.
“As oil prices continue their ascent, driven by growing demand from India and China and ongoing depreciation of the U.S. dollar, we are seeing heightened investor interest in non-fossil-fuel-based energy sources,” said Jeff Lipton, Managing Director and Head of North American CleanTech Investment Banking. “The 5th Global Clean Technology Conference brings investors together with some of the most innovative companies developing alternative sources of energy -- creating new opportunities both for investors and presenting companies.”
