Three finalists will be selected from the NW region who will then go to San Francisco on November 17th for the national Clean Tech Open Awards Gala.

“I am proud of the innovative and dedicated effort these clean tech entrepreneurs have given to the competition and know that they will form the basis of a vibrant clean tech economy for the NW and the US in the coming years,” said Byron McCann of Ascent.

Over 750 people attended the Washington Energy Summit on May 4, 2009, to focus on how we can collaborate to drive our sustainable energy future forward. Rogers Weed, Director of the Washington State Department of Commerce (formerly known as CTED), presided over the meeting and introduced Governor Gregoire who provided a heightened sense of priority for WA state to develop this essential industry.

Of great interest were several breakout sessions including smart grid and project financing. What is important is to follow and build upon the ongoing conversation.
