The 2010 Emerging Green Business Conference will highlight emerging green industries and innovative technology in a number of areas including solar energy, nuclear energy, water resources, recycling and solid waste. At the same time, attendees will be able to talk with key federal, state and private partners which can assist growing green businesses and green job creation through identifying available capital resources.  This conference is ideal for those with a business or product idea that is lacking capital to get to market or for those that have a current business that they are looking to grow in a sustainable manner.
