Madame Secretary, Please Stand to My Right!
Yep, that is U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm enjoying a photo op with me and 4 other Maryland based #CleanTech Entrepreneurs. We Solar’s CEO, Kristal Hansley invited DaiTechCorp - Dai Technologies Corporation to listen in on her Coffee Chat with Madame Secretary.
It was a wonderful experience observing in real time the wheels of government turning towards the interests of small business owners - who just so happen to niche their endeavors in Sustainability & Alternative Fuels.
Trust me. Despite the marketplace heat and hype about “greening America” and transportation electrification, closing deals in our respective lanes has not been a game of slam dunks! The Federal government’s commitment to small business is demonstrated through policy, funding, program allocations, AND of course photo ops.
Sidebar: Photo ops will give an entrepreneur more lift and traction than any capabilities statement ever will!
Yet, this picture is so much more than a photo op with the head of United States energy policy. It also represents the wins CleanTech business leaders tally together when they seek synergies and foster mutually beneficial strategic alliances. Kristal and Madam Secretary thank you for sharing your platform with DaiTechCorp!
