2019 Cleantech Open Global Forum
January 29, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 8:00 pm
Join us at the CTO Global Forum in Los Angeles, January 28-29. Meet nearly 100 startups driving innovation in environmental and sustainable technologies in areas ranging from energy, agriculture, water, transportation, and smart cities. We anticipate an audience of over 400 industry insiders. It will be a great opportunity to make new connections in the burgeoning Los Angeles cleantech innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Finalists from our six US Regions will be pitching to win the Cleantech Open Grand Prize, as will winners from other countries in our Global Ideas Program.
As an attendee, you will:
- Gain rich exposure to the startups from our 2018 cohort, more mature alumni companies graduated from the program since 2006, and LACI portfolio companies;
- Network with entrepreneurs, mentors, peer judges, investors, and industry insiders; and,
- Hear about the latest developments in the cleantech world from notable speakers on panels and keynotes – with plenty of opportunity for Q&A.
