On October 18, 2005, the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, under a grant from the Joyce Foundation, held a workshop in Cleveland, OH called “Capitalizing on Climate-Friendly Technologies.” The workshop examined how Ohio companies can capitalize on climate-friendly technologies, discussed what the state can do to assist developers, manufacturers and vendors of these technologies, and began to explore strategies to take advantage of these market opportunities. Presenters and participants at the workshop included state officials discussing incentives and opportunities for economic development through public-private collaboration, corporate executives explaining company strategies, a federal official discussing incentives included in the Energy Policy of 2005, and independent business experts identifying economic development tools that increase competitiveness in climate-friendly technologies.
