Cleantech Financing for the Future November 10, 2009

The news in recent weeks have been optimistic for the cleantech industry. After waiting, we have seen some allocation of Stimulus funding. We have also seen a steady increase in investment by VCs and other funding sources. And with the new loan guarantee program, traditional banks may become more involved in the sector. Financing your future requires careful consideration of the variety of funding options -- from traditional banks, VCs and the government. This panel will present several perspectives on cleantech financing and the obligations and opportunities under a variety of financing arrangements.
