Cleantech Collaboration at the Forum

The April Sustainability Forum brought a number of cleantech entrepreneurs together with inspired supporters. Massachusetts has distinguished itself as a leading state in this industry. We're second to Calif. in cleantech investment and the number of start-ups.
One of the key factors is the smart collaboration between different sectors that happens here.  The Forum was proud to host the Cleantech Open, North Shore Innoventure Center, the New England Association of Cleantech Incubators (Action), and the Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems -- together with the CEOs of 7AC, Teleos, and Arctic Sand. 

Next Forum: Inspiration to Funding

We have a special Forum lined-up for you April 4.  In conjunction with The Cleantech Open, we have a strong line-up of entrepreneurs who’ve been recognized for their innovative technology.  On top of that, there’ll be folks from the Association of Cleantech incubators, Fraunhofer CSE’s ULaunch program, and our own NSIV.  All-in-all, this will be a big Forum with tested innovators and industry supporters.

Join us from 8:00 am – 10:30 am Wednesday April 4, 2012 at 100 Cummings Center, Conference Room 221E, Beverly, MA (1 mile south of Route 128 on Route 62, or come by train to the Beverly Depot).
