Denver, Colorado is fast becoming a hub for renewable energy and sustainable development. The Mile High City will host the “Nano Renewable Energy Summit” Monday and Tuesday (June 22nd and 23rd). Thanks in part to the National Renewable Energy Lab in nearby Golden, Colorado, Denver has been at the forefront of clean energy development over the past several years. 2nd Green Revolution has written often about Colorado’s role in the new energy economy. Recent stories range from Vestas Wind Energy’s investment in the state to the new solar company Abound, which was born out of research undertaken at Colorado State University. With some 300 sunny days a year, Denver is the perfect place to implement solar energy projects.
According to the website, “The Nano Renewable Energy Summit is a gathering of world-renowned experts at the intersection of solar energy and nanotechnology, with a specific focus on the business, commercialization, and economic development potential of emerging technologies in the renewable energy and sustainability sectors.” The 2009 summit marks their second year in Denver. This year’s event will be held at the University of Denver’s Cable Center, located at 2000 Buchtel Blvd. For a list of speakers and times, click here. Event sponsors include: the NanoBusiness Alliance, Colorado Nanotechnology Alliance, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, University of Denver, Deloitte, and the NY NanoBusiness Alliance.
If you plan on attending the event, we would love to hear your insights.
