Sacramento Region Clean Energy Showcase Venture Expo 2008
 
The Sacramento Region is a “hub” for clean energy technology. The region boasts
nearly 100 clean technology companies providing solar, wind, biofuel, energyefficient
technology and much more. The Sacramento Region has some of the best
educational institutes that provide a viable workforce. Our area is poised to meet the
growing demand for clean energy and technology. More importantly, our clean
technology companies will contribute to sustained economic growth for our region
and beyond.



SARTA’s CleanStart program provides resources that afford success and growth for
Sacramento Region Clean Energy Technology (CET) companies. Join us (inventors,
incubators, investors, industry experts, government, university, nonprofit and real
estate developers) as we explore the region’s key role in this growing trend — and
how we all can benefit. The key objectives for this conference include: providing a
“link” to experts with information in the key areas of running a successful green
business; showcasing the regional technical cluster of excellence in clean technology;
and showcasing the promising local clean technology companies, all with the hope
of inspiring more company-building in this important industry sector.
