With Scandinavia being world-leading in CleanTech and sustainability, SACC-SD has had a mission for over a decade to spread the passion and knowledge to Southern California and support American and Nordic CleanTech businesses. The Finnish-American Chamber of Commerce in San Diego and the Norweigan-American Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles decided to collaborate and establish a three-day conference that inspires and educates about CleanTech and sustainability, and promotes networking and exchange of sustainable solutions between Nordic and American companies that share our passion for a healthy planet.
Green Connections was held for the first time in 2012. Since then we have had 8 excellent Green Connections conferences filled with impressive speakers, sponsors and attendees. We are extremely proud to host our 9th annual Green Connections this year between November 10 and 12. Each day covers one topic each day: Renewable Energy, Smart Cities/Buildings and Energy Storage.
