Hanson Bridgett Sustainable Business Leadership Forum: Cleantech Investing
June 4, 2009 | 5:30-8:00 pm | San Francisco
Clean technology is likely to be one of the few sectors that will see an increase in venture capital investment this year due to support from President Barack Obama's administration, the stimulus package and increases in federal funding for cleantech initiatives. Venture investment reached a record $8.4 billion in 2008 despite the credit crisis and broadening recession. Our second annual Cleantech Investing forum will feature executives from the leading cleantech venture firms, exploring the latest developments and emerging policies that will impact the industry. Featured speakers include Ira Ehrenpreis, General Partner, Technology Partners; Anup Jacob, Partner, Virgin Green Fund; and Rodrigo Prudencio, Partner, Nth Power. The panel will be moderated by Jonathan Storper, Group Chair of the Sustainable Business practice group, and the Corporate, Securities and Tax Law practice group at Hanson Bridgett LLP.
