Tom Kerber, Director, Research, Home Controls & Energy, Parks Associates will participate on the session, "Power When You Need It – Exploring Energy Storage Technologies" from 7:30 - 10:00 AM. A key attribute of many modern electronic devices is their ability to operate without plugs and wires.  Powering such devices requires a storage technology such as batteries.  Hand drills, mobile phones, laptops, and pacemakers are a few examples of such devices.  On a larger scale, renewable energy generation also relies heavily on energy storage technologies to deliver "green" power to the grid and ultimately, to consumers, in a consistent and reliable manner.  While battery storage is the most well known storage device, many other technologies, such as flywheels, compressed air, molten salt, and ice systems, are used for large-scale energy storage.  Whether powering our mobile devices or "time-shifting" renewable energy at the grid level, current energy storage solutions are not sufficient to meet our ever growing demand for electricity.  Join NTEC and our panel of experts as we explore current and future energy storage technologies and discuss the entrepreneurial opportunities in this fast growth sector.

Are you curious about emerging technologies that are well positioned for growth in North Texas?  Are you an area entrepreneur looking for insights into the next wave of start up technology opportunities in our region?  Whether you are looking to start a company, find your next tech job, or interested in providing services to fast-growth companies in rapidly expanding business sectors, you will not want to miss the Entrepreneurial Opportunities Series 2012 hosted by NTEC.
