Leaders in Business, Government, Science to Push Capital Market Innovation and Scaling to Meet Global Demand
WASHINGTON, DC -- With energy and climate concerns at the top of the U.S. political, investment and business agendas, more than 600 of the world’s leading cleantech investors -- representing over $3 trillion in capital -- will convene with entrepreneurs, scientists and policy-makers in Washington, DC for Cleantech Forum XVIII. Hosted by the Cleantech Group, LLC, founders of the cleantech investment category, the two-day forum, held September 15-17, 2008, provides unparalleled networking opportunities with technology innovators and investors and a chance to survey the next generation of cleantech entrepreneurial innovation.
“As we move toward the conclusion of the first decade of the 21st Century, stresses on the global economy from rising inflation and slowing growth in developed economies will be compounded by the tangible impacts of climate change,” said John Balbach, managing partner of the Cleantech Group and conference chair. “Clean technologies hold the promise of addressing these challenges, and doing so by generating superior returns along with job and wealth creation. Our eighteenth Cleantech Forum is convening the cleantech investment community with policy-makers at a pivotal time of opportunity to stimulate global markets.”
Keynotes include David H. McCormick, Under Secretary for International Affairs for the U.S. Treasury Department, outlining a new $8 billion fund for international clean technology deployment for emerging markets; Chris Luebkeman, Director of Global Foresight and Innovation for Arup, one of the world’s leading design and consulting firms that recently completed the National Stadium and the Aquatic Center for China’s inaugural Olympics, will explore breakthroughs in innovation; and Dr. Tony Haymet, Director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, will highlight emerging breakthroughs in science which hold disruptive promise.
Other leading organizations participating include Sequoia Capital, Harvard University, United Steelworkers Union, Apollo Alliance, Change to Win, IDEO, Clinton Climate Initiative, Ernst & Young, Duke Energy, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, SunPower, Honeywell, Shell, ConocoPhillips and Monitor Group, among others.

Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, a fourth the cost of freeways (yet over 10 times the capacity), and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page or the ETT group, and learn more about ETT.
