Electric ity advances developmental factors such as small business development\, extended working hours\, access to communications\, enhanced education l evels and rural development. Energy can improve life of millions. \; \n \;\n \;\nIn developing countries access to energy remains const rained by factors such as limited access to well adapted affordable tech nology\, fragmented small markets\, prohibitive taxes and limited financ ial resources. On Dec 14th \, at the Copenhagen Climate conference the Obama Administration announced a $350 million dollar initiative dubbed “ Climate REDI” to promote clean energy technologies in developing countri es. \;\n \;\n \;\nJoin us on March 17th for a discussion wit h our expert panel\, on what kind of innovations in products\, finance\, supply and service can ensure reliable &\; affordable energy to the billions of poor across the world. \;\n \;\n \;\nOur 2 prese nters Michael(Kipp) Baratoff\, Principal\, Equilibrium Capital &\; P atrick Maloney\, Program Director\, Lemelson Foundation have been fully immersed in this space\, having been engaged with social entrepreneurs o ver the course of their careers. Lemelson Foundation awarded an energy g rant to Selco India for it’s Incubation Center and Innovation Department to develop new products and new business models to solve key problems f or energy consumers. The SELCO Solar Light Private Limited (SELCO India) is already an important provider of solar systems and cook stoves in so uthern India\, with products that allow rural families to increase their household income while reducing the environmental and health risks of h igher-cost kerosene lamps and inefficient stoves. \;\n \;\nOur ev ent organizer\, TiE Oregon Clean Energy SIG chair\, Ravi Sinha\, is the Chairman of Choice Solar India Pvt Ltd.\, company engaged in creative d istribution of energy solutions to India's marginalized residents. \ ;\n \;\n Bill Campbell\, our moderator for the evening is also a Prin cipal at Equlibrium as well as a TiE Oregon Charter Member and Board Mem ber. \;\n \;\nThey will bring an insight into problems\, econ omics\, delivery &\; growth of energy solutions. \;\n \;\n Thi s event is also a continuation of our theme “Serving the 6 Billion” on w hich we launched TiE Oregon in 2007. The keynote (watch the video on our website) speaker at the launch was C.K Prahalad\, Paul &\; Ruth McCr acken Distinguished University Professor of Corporate Strategy at the Un iversity of Michigan Ross School of Business\, a globally recognized bus iness consultant\, who gave a stirring speech about the Fortune at the B ottom of the Pyramid. \;\n \;\n \;\nIt centers on the propositi on that the world's poor can be the engine of the next round of global t rade and prosperity and can be a source of innovation. \n\nTags: energy\ , solutions\, social\, cost\, africa\, india\, sustainable\, ngo\, distr ibution\, financing\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/125045 8321 URL:http://oregon.tie.org/TGS/EM/viewevent/viewEventPT?id_event=4225&from _where=chapter_homepage SUMMARY:TiE Oregon: Energy Solutions for the Developing World LOCATION:Intel Ronler Acres RA1 Auditorium: 2501 NW 229th Avenue\, Hillsb oro OR 97124 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
