| Title: | EPA–Venture Capital Community Summit: Exploring Programs to Commercialize Environmental Technology |
| Date: | Wednesday, November 12, 2008 (10:00 am - 4:30 pm) |
| Location: | Ronald Reagan Building International Gateway Room on the Mezzanine Level 1300 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC 20004 |
| Purpose: | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold an EPA-Venture Capitalist Summit on New Financial Programs to Commercialize Environmental Technology to follow up the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT) report on EPA and the Venture Capital Community: Building Bridges to Commercialize Technology (April 2008). The report recommends that EPA create programs, similar to those of the US Department of Energy, to provide financial support (e.g., loan guarantees, grants, revolving loan funds) to encourage venture capital investment in environmental technology commercialization. The Summit will bring together senior career EPA managers (Deputy Assistant Administrators and Deputy Regional Administrators) with senior venture capitalists who were part of the Venture Capital Study. |
