CleantechTechnology Seminar |
The Cleantech technology seminar focuses on Cleantech technology, which ACAMP defines as any technology that incorporates diverse microsystems and nanotechnology-based science to enhance operational performance, productivity, or efficiency, while also reducing costs, energy consumption, and pollution. The ACAMP Seminar Series is a series of quarterly technology commercialization events aimed at bringing together Alberta's innovation community. Designed, hosted, and launched in 2009 by ACAMP, this innovative seminar series will cover four themes: Cleantech, Health and Medical, Conventional Energy, and Agriculture and Forestry. |
