Clean energy technology on display at Sacramento State

Clean energy technologies will take center stage as Sacramento State and the Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance (SARTA) host the annual Clean Energy Showcase-Venture Expo at 8 a.m., Friday, Sept. 26, in the University Union Ballroom.

The expo will connect businesses looking to incorporate green practices with start-up companies producing new green technologies.

SARTA is a non-profit corporation established to help develop the Sacramento region into a nationally recognized technology center. It has held the expo twice before, alternating each time between Sacramento State and UC Davis. Both schools have programs that focus on clean energy technologies.

The expo is expected to draw about 500 people. Fifty companies will have booths to showcase their products. One will be selected as Best in Show and one as runner up, both for cash prizes. In addition, 15 companies will give presentations on their future plans.

The expo is open to the public. To register, visit www.amplifyllc.com/in-tel/ListOfEvents.cfm?ID=CLNS
