Silicon Valley is increasingly invested in clean technologies and is already looked upon as a global leader in new technological development. As happens with most new technologies in their infancy, Silicon Valley's focus is currently on component manufacturing. However, a difference from earlier technology cycles is the upfront impact of globalization, especially the emergence of China and India as providers of skilled labor and large markets. Accordingly, the globalization of cleantech could follow some well-trodden paths and some new ones:
As manufacturing gets modularized, firms such as Applied Materials might shift component work to East Asia. Some of this is already happening.
System integration and other service provision might increasingly be provided by the large Indian system integrators. As of 2009, however, there is little evidence of this happening.
Firms in Europe and East Asia have been investing in cleantech for some time now, and might participate in technological leadership.
In each case, we are interested in exploring the time-frame and the driving forces. These will typically be outcomes of a mix of regulatory, domestic market and skills issues. Location: Bechtel Conference Center, 616 Serra Street, Stanford University

The program begins in Shanghai, China’s burgeoning economic and financial center with 25% of China’s exports and 12.5% of its financial revenues. Participants travel to Hangzhou where the GDP has increased an average of 22% annually. On to Guangzhou, a world class manufacturing center where 34% of China’s exports, 30% of its foreign direct investment, and 19% of its GDP occur on 0.5% of China’s land.

The CIBER Business Language Conference provides the opportunity for teachers, scholars, policy makers and business leaders to discuss business language education. The conference responds to the overarching mission of the U.S. Department of Education’s CIBER grant program to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. business globally by linking the human capital and information needs of the U.S. business community with the international education, language training, and research capacity of universities across the United States.
The conference ties into the larger national discourse about the ways that language education must keep pace and meet future challenges for applied language programs in light of research, trends, and needs of the changing economic environment.
Through the lens of literacy as a critical construct in the fields of second language acquisition and education, participants will be invited to share ideas and charter new directions for language and cross-cultural training. The notion of literacy frames the discussion of cross-cultural training as situating appropriate understandings and meanings in proper contexts. Location: Houston Hall, University of Pennsylvania
