What Drives Energy Innovation in 2012?
What technologies represent the
cutting edge of energy innovation in 2012, and which ones show the most
promise for helping us to establish a sustainable energy future and
power our economy in the process? What are the respective roles of the
public and private sectors in driving innovation in the space?
Following on the heels of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy's
3rd annual Energy Innovation Summit in Washington, DC, and looking
forward to the Edison Foundation's Powering the People event in March,
The Energy Collective will bring together experts from both
organizations and exciting technology leaders to explore the innovations
that are modernizing our approach to energy.
Join us as we discuss:
- The most promising clean energy technology ventures and the latest ARPA-E grantees.
- The transformational
technologies that can make room for cleaner energy in our electric grid
and change the way consumers interact with power.
- Key questions about what
drives innovation: Are government incentives necessary to promote
cleaner technology that will achieve substantial scale? Where is the
private sector strongest in driving efficiency and innovation?
- The challenges for clean tech ventures achieving large-scale market success. How do clean energy companies become competitive?
Join us for this live webinar » to discuss how we can innovate our way to a cleaner energy future.
