Clean-Tech Innovation and Entrepreneurship in China

Date: Wed, Oct 3, 2007

China’s tremendous growth is fueled by a commensurate appetite for energy. At the same time, the country is facing an enormous environmental challenge as it prepares to face the world during the 2008 Olympics. What is the solution that allows China to continue to grow without polluting the air and water? The answer is obvious – clean, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass.

China has become a major world player in renewable energy, in particular solar energy. (NACSA hosted an event focusing on the solar industry in China last October.) However, the growth has been primarily in manufacturing based on lower costs. What about China as an innovator for clean-tech? How do innovators in China stack up against the high-profile start-ups in the US or Europe? When will China become a major consumer of renewable energy instead of just a supplier? These are exciting questions for technologists and investors to follow.

As a part of a continuing series on solar and clean-tech, NACSA has invited a panel of outstanding speakers to offer different perspectives on answering these questions.

Entrepreneur Perspective – Dr. Zheng Xu, founder and CEO of Sierra Solar, an innovative thin-film startup, will share with us his insight and experiences as an entrepreneur and as an innovator both in the US and in China.

Presentation Handout

Investment Perspective – Mr. Richard Lim, Managing Director of GSR Ventures will high-light hot areas that investors are currently focused on and what investors look for when they evaluate an innovative start-up.

Presentation Handout

Legal Perspective – Mr. Paul Sieben, Corporate Counsel from O’Melveny will focus on the differences between startups in China versus their US counterparts and share experiences of how his firm has guided startups through the legal minefields.

Innovation Perspective – Prof. Peter Peumans, Stanford University will share with us some of the latest in research and innovation to improve efficiency and drive down costs.

NACSA invites its members and other professionals with interests in solar technology and entrepreneurship to join us for this exciting discussion. To learn more about NACSA and this event, please refer to our website: www.nacsa.com.

NACSA presents:

Thin-Film Solar Technology: The Future or the Present?

Sponsored by Applied Materials

Date: Thursday, April 12th, 2007
Event Time: 7:30pm (7:00 networking). Snacks and refreshments will be provided
Venue: Applied Materials Building 12, Conference Room A/B
Address: 3225 Oakmead Village Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95052 Google Map
Cost: $10 w/ RSVP; $20 at the door
RSVP: RSVP before 4/11 to Renxin_xia@nacsa.com and include your name, affiliation, email and phone number.

ALL EVENTS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

The solar industry has experienced tremendous growths in the last few years as the world turn to renewable energy to combat global warming and the dependence on oil. On the other hand, the high demand on raw silicon has dramatically increased silicon wafer prices and has become an obstacle to the solar industry's further growth. Unless there is a technological breakthough, the goal of grid parity remains far off in the future.

Many technologists and investors are banking that thin-film solar technology is just the breakthrough needed for a paradigm shift in the solar industry. Thin-film is not constrained by the supply of raw materials and promises significantly lower manufacturing costs. It also creates new opportunities in flexible materials and BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaics). However, it also faces its own challenges in terms of manufacturability, efficiency, and a high upfront cost.

Is thin-film technology the solution of today or the future? We invited top executives from the leading thin-film solar companies to share with us their visions and educate us on the different thin-film technologies, their promises, challenges, and solutions.

NACSA invites its members and other professionals with interests in solar technology to join us for this exciting discussion. To learn more about NACSA and this event, please refer to our website: www.nacsa.com.
