Designed
to not disappoint, EcoHub's premiere event embodies the ethos of our
brand and represents the culmination of our work throughout the year.
Innovation is at the core of everything the Club does, and on Thursday,
February 25th, 2010, we'll hear from the four Market Markers that made
it happen and explore more innovative, groundbreaking business
solutions across our rising Cleantech industry.
With this event,
we give attendees live access to top business visionaries and the
companies to watch who are in the Hub, with the goal to learn from and
to be inspired by their practices and insight.
The event itself
is a great conversation/debate starter, but the greater value is in
taking attendees inside these stellar companies and teaching them
something they don't know: surprising stats, smart techniques, best
practices and ideas. Because in the end, we have an ulterior motive:
inspiring attendees to lead their companies to make the move into the
Hub.
Speakers Include: Robert Noble, Yeves Perez, Mark Mandell,
Will Griffith, representing EcoHub, Inc. and Special Guest, Jacques
Chirazi from the City of San Diego.
We'll cover:
EcoHub's Vision;
Opportunities to join;
Co-Working Benefits;
As a special guest and a green leader in your own right, we are proud to launch something taliored for you + give you the "Hub" you deserve...
Join innovative thought leaders from a myriad of disciplines - top
marketers, designers, interactive gurus, tech visionaries, green
mavericks for provocative thinking and great workable business ideas.
Not limited to:
Applied
Creativity. Geniuses. Practical Advice. Networking Opportunities.
Troublemakers. Disruptors. Disparate Disciplines. Top Level
Discussions. Information. Inspiration - a gathering like no other.

About the event:

How to Grow a Cleantech Cluster --- (FASTCOMPANY.COM) ---
The green revolution is not evenly dispersed. The companies that are revolutionizing how we drive, produce electricity, and build often stick together in specific locales forming cleantech clusters. As old industries struggle, cities are building up their emerging cleantech clusters as new centers of economic growth. San Diego is one of the cities vying for a position in the cleantech revolution with government, schools, businesses, and other groups all helping to make it happen.
San Diego has beaches, sunny weather, and Seaworld, but that’s not all. San Diego has world class universities and research centers, and strong biotech and hi-tech business communities. It has a unique asset in the San Diego Zoo, a world class institution that educates and inspires innovation. San Diego also has a city government that sees cleantech as an important opportunity for future economic growth. All of this has helped to attract over 279 cleantech companies to the city (June 2009 data compiled by CleanTECH San Diego).
Cleantech clusters don’t develop in a vacuum – they are shaped and grown by their local environment, including the efforts of government at all levels. Jacques Chirazi is the Program Manager of the Cleantech Initiative in the Mayor’s Office for the City of San Diego. His job is to help green companies get started in San Diego, and attract new ones by making the startup process as quick and easy as he can.
At the September 22, 2009 meeting of the Eco Investment Club, Chirazi described how he can help businesses interact with the city, acting as their “project manager”. Walking the halls at City Hall and collaborating with the local business community, he expedites processes from permits to partnerships. “I’m also helping to create the policies that help cleantech companies in San Diego, and create demand for their products,” says Chirazi.
