Event Tabs Default Post-Event

Significant barriers to advancing international trade have plagued global clean technology growth. For example, the solar trade dispute between the United States and China is impacting the deployment of first-generation solar panels, while China’s use of cyber hacking to gain industrial intelligence has further complicated clean tech trade relations. In addition, a number of other nations have now turned to similar “green mercantilist” policies to boost domestic industries and wipe out international competition.

As a result, significant market uncertainty threatens rapid international growth and the industry's innovation capacity is hindered at a time when the world needs more low-carbon technological advancement, not less.

Please join ITIF's Center for Clean Energy Innovation and a panel of leading experts to discuss the challenges surrounding global clean tech trade, including an update on existing trade cases and what the future holds.

The event is free, open to the public, and complies with ethics rules.
