Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program
EPA ETV and SBIR Programs Regional Technology Workshop, October 2008, New York City
Mark your calendars and join us on October 7–8, at EPA Region 2 in New York City to learn about new technology to help solve environmental challenges and provide your input about future needs. The ETV and EPA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Programs will host a workshop, “Today’s Environmental Technologies–Innovative Solutions for Regional Issues,” and feature an exciting array of technologies developed and verified with EPA’s support. Region 2 will present their high-priority needs for technology solutions. ETV and SBIR will highlight innovative technologies for air, water, soils, and surface monitoring; drinking water treatment; greenhouse gas mitigation and cleaner energy; wastewater infrastructure, treatment and reuse; and air pollution control. ETV collaborators will also present and vendors of ETV-verified products will showcase their technologies as part of an innovative products exhibition.
