Ira Ehrenpreis – General Partner, Technology Partners

Every year the Summit convenes the who’s-who of the clean-tech sector together. It is one of the rare times when the sector’s most influential thought leaders gather to discuss the most critical issues facing the clean-tech sector. In addition, the 8th Annual Summit will feature some of the most interesting, provocative, and compelling speakers at what has clearly become one of the best clean-tech networking events of the year.
