With increased interest from investors, entrepreneurs, and businesses in emerging markets such as clean tech, ethical, green, socially responsible, and sustainable enterprises, the Clean Business Investment Summit aligns the power of capital and clean business principles to build viable, attractive, clean tech, green, socially responsible, sustainable enterprises.

All companies selected to present or exhibit will attend a special one-day "CBIS Entrepreneur Mentoring Session". This will give the entrepreneurs an opportunity to learn "How to work with investors one-on-one". Companies selected to present will be given a special one-on-one coaching session designed to assist with the refinement of their business plan presentations.

As a company selected for the CBIS as a presenter, you will be required to attend the coaching sessions in which members of our Mentoring Team will rehearse you and help you refine your Power Point presentation. You will then be prepared to pitch conference attendees, have access to investors and sponsors, have your executive summary included in the program guide, and have an exhibit table in the "Marketplace". The mentoring sessions are worth thousands of dollars in professional advice from our area's best investment bankers, lawyers and business people. They will help you in your fund raising efforts for many years to come.

If you are selected as an exhibiting company, you will be required to attend the coaching sessions in which members of our Mentoring Team will work with you on your business proposition and your executive summary will be included in the program guide, you will have access to investors and sponsors, and you will have an exhibit table in the "Marketplace".
