Day 1 Energy Storage NOVEMBER 16TH 7.30 AM - 11 AM PST 17.30-21 EEST The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted in September 2015 with 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a plan of action for people, the planet and prosperity. The Finnish American Chamber of Commerce in San Diego strives to promote the trade of sustainable Scandinavian technologies. The following goals of UN's Envision2030 are of particular importance; SDG7 Affordable & Clean Energy; SDG9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; and SDG17 Partnerships for the Goals. The higher demand for renewable energy has resulted in a bigger need for Energy Storage. Energy storage has an essential role in the transition to greener and cleaner energy. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases grid reliability and reduces costs. Join us on the 16th of November at Green Connections to step up the efforts to address climate change. |
Day 2 Emerging Innovation NOVEMBER 17TH 7.30 AM - 11 AM PST 17.30-21 EEST Technology and innovation are an important part of the transition toward a more sustainable economy, we want to focus on Emerging Innovation during our second day of Green Connections. Cleantech Innovation and entrepreneurship is needed to transition from a fossil-fuel economy to a sustainable economy that is powered by renewable energy. We will focus on four different tracks within Cleantech’s innovation:
The high demand for sustainable solutions has resulted in the growth of new jobs. We are seeing more and more scientists, technologists, and entrepreneurs going into the cleantech industry to address these problems. Join us on November 17th to hear more about sustainable tech solutions! |

About Green Connections:
Sustainable development is described as, "the development which meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs", (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987). This is why a strong, global connection between the pioneers of sustainability is needed to accelerate our shift towards a more sustainable, long-lasting world. Scandinavia is a world leader in CleanTech and sustainability. This has inspired the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce San Diego, the Finnish-American Chamber of Commerce San Diego and the Norwegian-American Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles to collaborate and establish a two-day conference that inspires and educates about CleanTech and sustainability and promotes networking and exchange of sustainable solutions between Nordic and American companies that share our passion for a healthy planet. Green Connections is designed for companies and individuals who wish to learn from others or perhaps are looking to establish in California or in the Nordics. Through Green Connections, our ambition is to create a platform for inspiration and to exchange success stories between the Southern California region and the Nordics, working together to reduce the carbon footprint on the planet while additionally creating sustainable business opportunities, synergy effects, and networking. |
