These companies and the private equity and venture capital investors who help fund their efforts to develop innovative clean energy and green technology products and services gathered to network and display their achievements.

In addition to the businesspeople and investors attending the event, Sacramento mayoral candidate Kevin Johnson was present to demonstrate his support for the clean technology movement. “Clean technology is an industry that is up and coming. Our region has over 100 clean technology companies. All this leads to more jobs and more economic development.”
