The Clean Tech B2B Buyers &Suppliers Networking Zoom Program connects potential investors with promising technologies, connects buyers interested in purchasing these technologies to meet their sustainability goals, stimulates new levels of innovation and strategic partnerships among participants, and provides exposure for small innovators with promising technologies.

Based on survey results, participants in these programs achieved great success.
