LACI’s Power Day is a celebration of California’s clean energy ecosystem and brings together LACI Incubation Program startups, policymakers, industry leaders and advocates to discuss the latest advancements and barriers in the clean energy sector. Join us as we showcase our latest cohort of startup companies and highlight their milestones and contributions to clean technology solutions and pilots providing social, economic and environmental benefits throughout the greater Los Angeles region.
