SUMMARY:Blue Tech: Is Water's Dry Spell Over?
DESCRIPTION:Blue Tech: Is Water’s Dry Spell Over? **Video Available** \nAn exclusive event hosted by MIT/Stanford Venture Lab and Imagine H20 \n\n  \n\n\nWhen\n  \n\nTuesday\, October 19\, 2010 \n6:00pm – 7:00pm – Networking and Refreshment \n7:00pm – 8:30pm – Panel Discussion and Q/A \n\n\n\nWhere\n\n\nArbuckle Lounge and Bishop Auditorium at Stanford Business School\n \n\n \n\nEvent Description:\nCurrent water technologies are not effectively delivering what is needed by the world: more water\, cleaner water\, at lower cost and less energy. Evidence continues to build that an increasing number of places need more useable water. Entrepreneurs and their new\, more effective technologies are poised to disrupt the status quo\, to help provide relief from a growing water crisis in some places. \n\nThe world’s population \ntripled between 1900 and 2000\n; water use grew six fold. World demand for water will likely continue to outpace population growth creating a rare\, explosive opportunity for entrepreneurs; experts predict the human population will grow 25% to 7.5 billion by 2020. Consider what that will do to the world’s need for water.  Entrepreneurs are needed and many are already seeing opportunities in this worldwide\, growing market. And\, the lessons shared at the event can help others facing similar large-scale challenges in areas such as energy.Please join us for a fresh look at water\, the next big focus in cleantech.  \n\n\nTopics to Be Explored:\n \n\nWhy are there so few VC investments in water given the demonstrated need for new solutions? \nAre there opportunities for IT to play a bigger role in water? \nWhere and what are the biggest opportunities in water for entrepreneurs? \nWhat can cleantech entrepreneurs learn from water start-ups? \n\nModerator \n\n\n     Susan Leal\, Harvard University\, Senior Fellow; Co-author of “Running out of Water”\n\nPresenter* & Panelists\n\n\n     David Stanton*\,       APTwater\, CEO & President\n     Aaron H. Mandell\,    Oasys Water\, Co-Founder\, CEO and President  \n     Lee Ng\, PhD.\,            Siemens Technology-to-Business Center\, Director of Venture Technology \n     Chris Berkner\,          PureSense\, Chief Executive Officer\n\n\nOnline Registration is Closed.
