Asheville has long been a pioneer in environmental and energy issues. So it’s no surprise that the City of Asheville has a Chief Sustainability Officer to tackle the municipality’s ambitious target of reducing its carbon footprint by 80% by 2050 (and the city is already 27% there).
This eco-conscious mindset manifests opportunities for local entrepreneurs to develop and scale clean energy and tech companies, such as:
- BrightField Transportation Solutions, which aims to build a regional EV infrastructure for solar-electric charging stations
- Green builders like Deltec Homes, which produces net-zero energy homes that can withstand hurricane force winds, and
- FLS Energy, a top 5 utility-scale solar developer in North America
Check out some of the leaders in clean tech and green building offering demos and workshops at The Home, Garden & Green Living Show this weekend.
