VENTURING IN FUEL CELLS
The Power in 'Small'

PROGRAM SPONSOR

Fuel cells are coming to our homes and offices - long before they will be found in our automobiles. Micro fuel cells, as small as add-on battery packs, will soon power consumer products from telephones to laptops. By 2005, these small and portable power sources will ship in volume. Casio Computer, Motorola, NEC, Sony, Samsung and Toshiba are just a few of the companies expecting to ride this briskly improving technology to future revenue. Portable fuel cells, a little bit bigger, are already coming to market.

Please join the Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum for a critical look at the micropower and portable fuel cell industry. Our panel of investors, entrepreneurs, technologists and market analysts will examine venture opportunities for micro or portable power for our homes, offices and recreation. Maurice Gunderson, a venture capital investor in six fuel cell companies, will keynote the program with his view of the market and commercialization strategies for fuel cell ventures. Two early stage companies will present their business plan for critical panel review.
