Green Lifestyle – Business of the Future

The growth of the cleantech sector has been spurred on by industry titans such as Google and Applied Materials and countless innovators developing products for consumers. The Natural Marketing Institute (NMI) estimates that the size of the green marketplace is expected to reach over $420 billion by end of 2010, and hundreds of certification programs now offer “eco-labels” for green products. When it comes to “going green”, the opportunities are endless.

More and more venture capitalists are now backing green entrepreneurs who aim to invent green-consumer products and technologies for the mass market consumer. The press talks about the new green car on the roads, the solar panels on business rooftops and the smart-meter devices in homes. What will come next?

This panel of experts will address the following topics:
• How has green tech solutions transformed consumers’ lives?
• What are the green tech trends for 2010 and beyond?
• What types of consumer green tech start-ups are getting funding today?
• What are the opportunities for aspiring "green entrepreneurs"?

The Panel:

* Wayne Hedden, PricewaterhouseCoopers
* Christopher Moran, Vice President, General Manager, Applied Ventures
* Bruce Pasternack, Operating Partner, Venrock
* TBD
