Georgia Tech’s Strategic Energy Institute (SEI) will host a one-hour forum on Friday, December 15 at 12:30pm, featuring David Danielson, who will provide an overview of BEV and speak about its vision to invest in next generation technologies that provide reliable, affordable, zero-carbon energy, food, and products to the world. This group forum will be open to the Georgia Tech campus and local innovation organizations.
