Ron Pernick, Cofounder, Clean Edge, Inc. and Coauthor, The Clean Tech Revolution, will discuss the 6 C’s (confluence of forces) that are reshaping the global economic landscape: Costs, Capital, Competition, China, Consumers, and Climate/Carbon. He’ll also provide an overview of the sustainable business and clean technology areas most ripe for exploitation in the Northwest, and how the region can compete on a global playing field.
Also, there will be a special presentation from GCR Custom Research with findings from a study done about what NW tech professionals know and are willing to implement with regards to GreenTech. Did the NW score higher than national statistics?
