Strategic News Service Welcomes Cleantech Group as Alliance Partner

FRIDAY HARBOR, WA--(Marketwire - Sep 7, 2011) - Strategic News Service welcomed Cleantech Group as an Alliance Partner this week. The partnership represents a new level of support and interaction between "high end" conference groups, as they seek new ways to convert conversation to action. Both groups focus on promoting and bolstering the global clean technology sector, through green business investment and the curation of conversation among thought leaders.

Cleantech Group helps business leaders make smarter, more strategic decisions involving cleantech innovation. The i³ Platform provides web-based, comprehensive, up-to-date information and insights into companies, investors and relationships across the clean technology ecosystem including the smart grid, energy efficiency, energy storage, smart water, and green transportation sectors. Cleantech Group also produces the premier Cleantech Forum® and Focus™ conferences worldwide, including upcoming events in Washington DC, Toronto, San Francisco and Munich.

"We look forward to working closely with our new alliance partners in the Cleantech Group. Both of our organizations share similar goals in this arena, and we hope that by combining our efforts, we may both achieve greater success in solving dramatic world problems," said Mark Anderson, FiRe Chair and SNS CEO.
