OIT Announces Financing Technology Workshop
June 3, 1999
Oakland, California, will be the site of the next OIT-sponsored Financing
Technology Workshop. Financiers, manufacturers, and technology providers will
gather on June 28, 1999, at the Airport Hilton Oakland to share their strategies
for financing and implementing energy efficient technologies and processes.
This workshop, one in a series of OIT-sponsored regional
financing workshops, is for California manufacturers interested in learning how
to finance technologies and how to reap the benefits of energy efficiency. In
three morning panels, manufacturers will learn how their companies can benefit
from technology upgrades and how other manufacturers were able to locate,
install, and finance the improvements. Luncheon speaker Bob Moore, plant manager
of Oberti Olives, will discuss how his company financed and implemented a
filtration system which saved $32 million in environmental compliance costs. The
workshop will also include an exhibit hall with software demonstrations and
local exhibitors. Six small afternoon question & answer sessions will
address individual questions. Workshop participants will receive a compendium of
resources showcasing the various programs manufacturers can take advantage of
for more assistance in technical and financial endeavors.
