NASA remains a global leader in aeronautics, with hundreds of experts available in a variety of technology-related subject matters. NASA also consults with and assists industrial companies and collaborators in developing and commercializing advanced energy technologies.

 During the forum, six experts from NASA will share exciting developments in wind power, photovoltaics, fuel cells/batteries, flywheels and smart grid technology. You will have the opportunity to learn how to partner with NASA and utilize their experts, laboratories and facilities to support new technology developments in advanced energy.
