Cleantech San Diego marked a proud milestone for our members and our industry when we celebrated our 10th anniversary this year. We were founded thanks to gutsy and visionary leaders from the private, public, and academic sectors who recognized a growing cleantech industry as the next great economic opportunity for the San Diego region. They were guided by the premise that sustainable business practices also make financial sense. Today, we are seeing that vision materialize in ways we couldn’t have imagined a decade ago. And our industry’s role in securing a clean and prosperous future for the next generation is more important than ever. If the last 10 years are any indication, it is clear that we are fortunate to be part of a community in San Diego that values innovation, sustainability, and collaboration. To our forward-thinking stakeholders in industry, government, academia, nonprofits, and the military, we thank you for your commitment to shaping a positive clean energy future for San Diego and the world that will carry us into the next decade and beyond. Your passion and support make our region an inspiration to the rest of the nation and the world, and we couldn’t be prouder to share your story.

Jason Anderson, President and CEO, Cleantech San Diego
