Dow Jones Alternative Energy Innovations Fall 2009

Alternative energy has emerged as a key investment area for venture capitalists.  The increasing need for cheaper and cleaner energy sources has made firms realize that the sector holds great potential.  But the economic downturn along with the near disappearance of late-stage financing along with increased competition from corporations and a need to understand the goings on in Washington is changing the way that VCs are looking at investing and building companies.  Capital intensive sectors like solar and biofuels are getting less attention while emerging areas like energy efficiency, green building and the Grid are being looked at more closely.

 

To get a handle on this changing landscape and a view to where the alternative energy sector is headed in 2010 and beyond, Dow Jones VentureWire is bringing together an impressive group of speakers, including individuals from major utilities, the government, oil companies, CEOs from more than 50 of the sector's most promising startups and, of course, some of the leading investors.  Attend this fall's Alternative Energy Innovations Conference, where topics will include:

 

~ What it takes to navigate and benefit from the focus on cleantech in Washington

~ Who will be the winners in the effort to modernize the grid?

~ What does it take to work successfully with utilities?

~ Whether wind or water holds the most promise

~ Perspective on the opportunities within green building
