Dutch Cleantech Entrepreneurship Mission to San Francisco, 16 - 20 March 2015

The San Francisco based Cleantech Group organizes its annual Cleantech Forum March 16th to 17th 2015. This years theme is Cleantech Meets the Cloud: The Emergence of Cleantech-as-a-Service. In the same week UC Berkeley organizes a clean technology and energy forum and conference.
The Netherlands Office for Science and Technology (NOST) in San Francisco and its partners plan a Cleantech Entrepreneurship Mission to San Francisco from the 16th to the 20th of March 2015. We aim to offer Dutch Cleantech entrepreneurs the opportunity to:

• Pitch their Cleantech innovation at the Cleantech Forum and meet with key local Cleantech organizations, like for example Prospect SV
• Learn about the latest trends and developments from Cleantech companies (e.g. Bloom Energy, Sunrun, Google), researchers (e.g. Berkeley, Cambridge UK) and investors (e.g. DBL Investors, Goldman Sachs, GSR Ventures)
• Strategically network with fellow entrepreneurs, researchers, corporates and investors
• Visit UC Berkeley and Stanford

Do you a have innovative Dutch startups in your organization, or are you an ambitious entrepreneur, focused on Cleantech IT? Are you interested in exploring your opportunities in California? Then this mission might be perfect for you. To stay updated on the details of the mission and be among the first to know when the application starts, send an email to: cleantech@nost-sv.org
