Special sessions will be held by the Massachusetts Hydrogen Coalition and the Energy Special Interest Group at the MIT Enterprise Forum.

The Conference on Clean Energy is an exciting opportunity for investors to learn about the latest technologies emerging from universities and startup companies in the Northeast. Entrepreneurs, inventors, service providers, universities, job seekers, and employers will benefit from the diverse sessions designed to promote interaction and education within the sector.
