Invitation to Plug and Play Tech Center Smart Grid Event and Center of Excellence initiative launch

Plug and Play Tech Center is hosting its first Smart Grid@Plug and Play event on April 14, 2011 at their Sunnyvale headquarters.  (http://www.plugandplaytechcenter.com/smartgrid/) Plug and Play Tech Center is a community of 350 Tech Startups, 160 VC partners, and many corporate, university, and government partners all supporting technology entrepreneurship.  
 
This event has special significance since it also marks the kickoff of their Smart Grid Center of Excellence initiative, which will educate and promote startups in this space and offer a demo center to showcase platforms and solutions.  More details about this initiative will be provided at the event.
