Touching on policies, processes and products alike, we will present a series of potentially disruptive eco-innovations in energy, industry, agriculture and transportation. In Israel, the Milken Institute has been involved in a series of Financial Innovations Labs and policy developments including an oil-free initiative, natural gas development, a greenhouse gas reduction program, solar energy tariffs, and water and agrotech initiatives - all of which can have international applications.
