In the February edition of Mintz Levin’s Energy and Clean Tech Connections, we’ve gathered recent information from a wide variety of sources in an effort to keep you abreast of what’s new in the world of clean tech. We draw your attention to the latest industry developments, news from

Capitol Hill, grant opportunities, and upcoming events. Mintz Levin is proud to be recently ranked by IPO Vital Signs among the top 20 law firms in the United States in 2007 for representing businesses and underwriters in initial

public offerings (more info). The Energy and Clean Tech Practice Group remains committed to utilizing this expertise with companies developing renewable energies and sustainable living.

Additionally, Mintz Levin was pleased to co-sponsor a Clean Energy Technology breakfast forum at the CERA Energy Conference (CERAWEEK 2008) in Houston last week (more info). This well attended forum featured entrepreneurial companies actively developing exciting technologies that will reshape the energy future. CERAWEEK brought together national and international leaders from the oil, gas and power industries, including a host of outstanding emerging energy and technology companies. The conference

created numerous opportunities to network, and to develop and enhance funding/investing and collaborative partnerships. Mintz Levin looks forward to participating in future conferences. Keep it on your calendars for next

year (February 9–13)!

We would also like to remind you of an exciting mentoring opportunity with the Ignite Clean Energy Business Presentation Competition beginning this March. Please see the Events section of this newsletter to learn how to get

involved. We hope you enjoy this month’s edition.
