Accelerate: Global Cleantech Conference (San Francisco — October 11-12)
Accelerate is a two day summit designed to explore the cleantech phenomenon that has inspired entrepreneurs, captivated policymakers, and attracted billions of dollars in funding from both the venture capital industry and some of the largest companies in the world.
Accelerate will examine the impact which the cleantech revolution is having on big business and society as a whole, and why cleantech is no longer a sector of technology, but rather a filter through which all the processes of civilization are being fundamentally upgraded.
Accelerate will connect the cleantech elite—CEOs, VCs, corporate investors, government officials, and other influential people from the cleantech community around the world—challenging them to present investment ideas and entrepreneurial innovations that not only promise environmental sustainability and resource abundance, but also deliver the basic necessities of life—energy, water, food, shelter, transportation and waste management—at lower unit costs. Such breakthroughs will spur economic growth and development, increase productivity, and raise the standard of living in countries all over the world.
Accelerate will take place at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, the largest Platinum LEED certified building in the world.
