such as straw bale, insulated concrete forms and foam insulation,
natural and recycled materials, efficient windows and appliances,
and more. Also learn how you can save money through State and
local rebates. Lisa Swan is the owner of Design Forward, a residential

Green
Tech Connect Forum* |
|
| Event |
Green Tech Connect Forum |
|
The
Green Tech Connect Forum is part of the Helping Hand Initiative
adopted by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD).
The AQMD is recognized for its leadership as the premier air quality
control agency in the nation. The Green Tech Connect Forum Where
Partnerships Drive Green Innovation and Commercialization continues
this tradition by creating a forum bringing together emerging
green technology developers, government and the investment community.
It offers a unique synergism to the Federal Stimulus Bill and
AB 32, California’s Global Warming Solutions Act.
The
Green Tech Connect Forum offers a twist from similar conferences.
The emerging green technology developers will be profiling their
companies, technologies and funding needs to prospective funding
partners instead of the investment community talking to an audience
of technology developers. It will also include one-on-one opportunities
to interface directly with the funding partners. |
