How is clean tech connecting with the community? Reinvesting into the local community is an opportunity to bring new sustainable energy solutions to everyone.

At this month's meetup, we will discuss how clean tech is making its way to the community through utility programs, non-profits, and startups providing unique financing. Each of our guests is solving adoption challenges while improving the living conditions of communities.

CleanTech Meetups are technology-focused monthly gatherings that feature presentations about products and technologies from companies that are already in operation as well as early-stage startups. Because of the pandemic, we will be meeting online via Zoom.
