Mundiali Starts Clean Tech Committee
Mundiali continues to explore clean, affordable energy. As such, the creation of a Clean Tech Committee was formed. The Clean Tech Committee charter is to create new business opportunities related to Renewable Energy.
Mundiali agrees with the American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE) belief that “a renewable energy future [as well as conservation practices] is an economically superior future, offering investment opportunities, wealth creation, accelerated economic growth, new company formation and jobs”. Our committee is working to establish a framework for economic growth through Clean Technology, Conservation, and Sustainable Practices. We currently have local small business leaders participating, and we completed our first meeting last week. As expected, the meeting was a great first step towards the creation of a framework for new business related to Renewable Energy and Conservation. We had a guest speaker for our first meeting which created a valuable discussion on the history and future opportunities within the industry. Other guest speakers are being scheduled.
If you are interested in learning more about this committee, please contact Alex at: info@Mundiali.com
