Transportation Symposium October 9, 2008

Energy costs, energy security, climate change, and gridlock are driving and accelerating innovation and change in the transportation sector. What technologies are best positioned to address these issues, and why? What are the market barriers of today and tomorrow? How are savvy entrepreneurs and investors taking advantage of the massive market for transportation? Is change happening fast enough?

Come listen to an expert panel discuss and debate the synthesis of clean technologies and innovative business models, and how they can empower the mobility systems of the future. Hear two California entrepreneurs tell their stories about working for mass transit solutions. Find out what local government's perspective is on incentivizing clean technologies. Listen to investment and marketing experts as they explain how winning technologies can scale up to tomorrow's mainstream.

Proterra's brand new Hybrid-Electric Bus will also be on display. As with all Clean Tech Open events, join us for food and drinks, and plenty of networking opportunities.
