Summaries

Summary Sentence: A panel discussion sponsored by the Georgia Tech Clean Energy Speaker Series.

Full Summary: For entrepreneurs located in Atlanta or Research Triangle, what are some key considerations in addressing markets, raising capital, hiring employees and building company infrastructure to address growing national and international markets?

The world is increasingly flat in clean technology. While local and regional markets exist for Clean Tech, national and international markets contain key drivers that impact market acceptance and economic viability that provide opportunities to achieve significant business viability and scale. For entrepreneurs located in Atlanta or Research Triangle, what are some key considerations in addressing markets, raising capital, hiring employees and building company infrastructure to address growing national and international markets?

On March 28, plan to join a panel discussion of entrepreneurs and a market analyst on this important topic. The event will also be webcast live.
