Optony CEO to speak at VLAB Emerging Business Forum
April 17, 2009
Palo Alto, CA
Optony CEO, Dr. PR Yu to speak at the VLBA Emerging Business Forum on the topic of Integrating the Clean Tech Value Chain: Linking Research, Businesses, Venture Capitalists, Service Providers and Government Stimulus. Today's Clean Tech environment is top of mind in the world and especially the USA. Every address given by federal and local officials have "clean energy" as a pillar. Our traditional energy providers have been large utilities and corporate entities that have primarily based their economic models on oil and fossil fuel. Now the factors of oil price and scarcity, global climate impact, and energy independence set the stage for diversification.
An entrepreneurial approach to solving this problem creates and enables diversification. The challenge is not a lack of ideas or exuberance but constructing and connecting a value chain that will accelerate the formulation, funding, adoption, and wide spread implementation of technologies and methods to build the "clean energy" pillar we need.
