There are real business opportunities for Oregon's entrepreneurs and investors to capitalize on. Oregon's Green Advantage gives you the opportunity to meet industry experts and learn what sustainability really is. Entrepreneurs and investors will learn where the new business opportunities are today and find out where the trends are headed for a sustainable future.<br /><br />
