Tech Council luncheon to focus on hydrogen economy

The University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Dean of Engineering Ian Robertson will speak at the Tech Council Innovation Network luncheon on Tuesday, Oct. 25, about how 10 Midwest states and private partners are working to make hydrogen an affordable, safe, and carbon-free energy option. Wisconsin is a part of two coalitions formed to compete for federal Department of Energy funding to create a network of clean energy projects and partners. States signing at least one voluntary memorandum of understanding are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Indiana. The luncheon will be held at the Sheraton Hotel, 706 John Nolen Drive. Registration and networking begin at 11:30 a.m., lunch at noon, and the presentation at 12:30 p.m. Online registration is requested.
