Solar markets both in the U.S. and Germany are growing rapidly, but are still very dependent on government subsidies. Both countries offer a very different set of opportunities in leading the way into the future of the PV industry. The U.S. has huge, yet relatively untapped market potential; a wealth of companies developing new technologies and proximity to grid-parity in many regions. Germany is home to some of the largest and most sophisticated PV companies and offers a large, growing and stable market with a reliable support system. Bringing those two together strategically has provided, and continues to provide, an outstanding recipe for success.

We are entering a 3.0 World that is giving rise to a New Capitalism, an Age of Innovation and an emerging Energy-Climate Era all at once. During this time of great change, all bets are off, prediction is impossible and innovative adaptability is imperative.

If we view modernity in phases of three eras, we see the Industrial Age as 1.0 (which lasted over 100 years), the Information/computer Age as 2.0 (which lasted about 20 years), we are now entering the 3.0 Innovation Age (time frame unknown).

This business and society altering change is shaping up to be as significant as the Industrial Revolution and the Renaissance combined. It is being birthed and formed during a time of increasing climate chaos, failing institutions and huge financial disruption. It is a time, like other eras of great change, where in the midst of enormous challenges, new opportunities arise for those who have the courage to look at reality directly and with this awareness creatively adapt and innovate.

Join Dan and Meredith Beam and New Voice of Business as we explore this 3.0 world and its impact on you, your business and your future. In this interactive session we will:

--Briefly explore the major challenges impacting us, the massive sea changes reshaping our culture, and the emergence of a New Capitalism that reflects this 3.0 Business world.
--Create a dialogue on the meaning and implications of these dynamics on business and its role in addressing the big issues of our time.
--Offer perspectives and solutions for what business people can do in their businesses and in the market to innovatively adapt and thrive.

Americans have grown increasingly concerned about U.S. dependence on oil imports and greenhouse gas emissions in recent years, resulting in greater interest in fuels like biodiesel and ethanol that can be produced from domestic feedstocks rather than petroleum.
