Entrepreneurs, tech executives, investors, and other stakeholders are looking for solutions to a wide range of problems impacting society and the world we live in. This series will focus on the role of technology and business in finding solutions.

In this second evening, the program will focus on how start-ups and started-ups are providing solutions and technologies to the infrastructure challenges facing enterprises of all sizes- energy efficiency, virtualization, green telephony, cooling of data centers and more.
