The Rice Alliance Energy and Clean Technology Venture Forum – September 13, 2012 will focus on new energy and clean technologies.

Call for Presenters – Introduce your business to more than 500 Investors, Entrepreneurs, and Industry Experts.

I have had the privilege of attending almost every year of this event.   It’s great to learn about new technologies and to hear the success stories of those companies that turn that new technology into a true business model. If your business is involved with Energy and Clean Technology, you should consider presenting.

A call for entries is issued approximately two months  prior to each event.

Interested companies should submit a two-page executive summary to the Rice Alliance.

An advisory board of industry leaders will evaluate the companies based on Technology innovation, market size, competition differentiation, business viability and management team.

Five companies will be selected to present a 10-minute business plan, an additional 40-60 companies are invited to present a 90-second elevator pitch and all the participating companies may exhibit in the company showcase. 400-600 investors, entrepreneurs and successful business people will be in attendance to learn about, evaluate and network with the companies.

For those interested in just attending. Please save the date:
