“So much of what happens at VerdeXchange isn’t just what’s on stage, it’s what happens in the hallways and in between sessions when people make those connections, trade those cards, plant those ideas, and form those partnerships that literally change this city and this world.”
“The beauty of VerdeXchange is that it encapsulates the energy that’s going on in California and finds a way to interconnect that both federally and globally.”
“VerdeXchange is this unique gathering of people from an unusual range of sectors: government, business, NGOs, investors, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and even economists, and that doesn’t happen anywhere else. ”
“The international and domestic community comes together to learn about trends but also to start figuring out how we develop an economy that makes sense for us all.”
“VerdeXchange Conferences offers attendees an opportunity to see things through other people’s lens.”
“The hallmark of VerdeXchange is that it’s a global perspective. There is money to be made in protecting the environment, and VerdeXchange is a good place to find it.”
"As the German Consulate in LA, we were proud to sponsor this year’s VerdeXchange Conference — a key platform driving the green tech revolution forward in California and beyond. From mobility to energy, from resilient infrastructure to preparing for the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games, experts from around the world gathered in Downtown LA to shape a more sustainable future."
"A big thank you to the Port of Los Angeles and AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles teams for hosting the VerdeXchange deep dive tour today. Tim McOsker, Mike Galvin, Brian Goldstein and Jenny Krusoe shared insightful knowledge from the busiest container port in the western hemisphere, breakthrough research and workforce development tied to aquaculture, energy supply, climate adaptation and ocean exploration."
"I go to VerdeXchange every year and while the topics feel the same, there's always progress. We are moving on climate, energy, water, greenhouse gas. It's not happening just in LA, but globally. Hydrogen trucks, using AI to make equity decisions, offshore wind, and using waste to generate energy. Looking forward to the future when all these thoughts and ideas become reality."
