Southwest Energy Innovation Forum

We recently partnered with the ASU UTO Webcast Team on the production of a series of video presentations and panel discussions conducted during the Southwest Energy Innovation Forum held as ASU SkySong. The day long event brought together leaders in new energy thinking from the academy, from industry, and from government.

“The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Arizona State University (ASU), and U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) co-convened a conference on Energy Innovation in the Southwest region of the United States that included participation by entrepreneurs, state government officials, representatives of academia, private-sector leaders, nonprofit leaders, and innovators on October 18, 2010 at SkySong Innovation Center in Scottsdale Arizona.”
