Welcome to VERDEXCHANGE 2020 Green Marketmakers Conference January 26 – 28, 2020
Our 13th annual VerdeXchange California Conference, by design, affords Clean and Green Tech Marketmakers opportunities to better understand and advance the New Energy Economy. And this year the “opportunities” are robust.
David Abel Chair VerdeXchange
“In 2020, ‘There’s sort of a ‘come on in, the water’s warm’ element of excitement and momentum” reports one authority. Indeed: “there are banks and capital providers —infrastructure funds, foreign pension funds, & foreign corporations — that are accelerating their investments under the banner of sustainable finance.

EVENT
In 2008, VerdeXchange’s Conference captured a significant global turn from climate change policy advocacy to the execution challenges of meeting marketplace promises. Thirteen years later, it is safe to assert that despite the headwinds of competing U.S. federal policies, a multi-trillion-dollar green economy continues to grow—especially in California and the Pacific Rim. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s 2019 inaugural address highlighted the importance of today’s trends, and it deserves restating: “California has always helped write America’s future. And we know the decisions we make would be important at any time. But what we do today is even more consequential because of what’s happening in our country ... The water we drink, the air we breathe—they all hang in the balance. The country is watching us. The world is waiting on us. The future depends on us. And we will seize this moment.”

Even as the global climate crisis grows, California increasingly is a model for global regions and C-40 cities accelerating policies, practices, and investment in addressing climate change. In closing, I welcome you to VX2020. Enjoy the Conference. DAVID ABEL
