Priorities in the cleantech market are shifting quickly.  With the U.S. economy stabilizing, stringent emissions limits looming in the European Union, and nations in Asia Pacific – particularly China – taking a newly aggressive role in clean energy markets, utilities, investors, and end users have shifted their focus away from grandiose projects and bleeding-edge technologies and onto workable technologies that can be funded and brought to market quickly.  The coming year will usher in a period of accelerated commercialization and real-world experience.

This webinar examines key emerging cleantech trends to watch in 2013, with a focus on smart energy technologies, the evolution of the utility business model, and applications for clean technologies in large cities.  Featuring research directors Kerry-Ann Adamson and Eric Woods, along with senior research analyst Bob Lockhart, this webinar will provide key insights on the overall evolution of the cleantech industry as well as a more detailed analysis of the major forces that are driving investment, adoption, and regulatory change.
