This event will feature a presentation by Eytan Levy at the MIT Sloan School of Management (E52-175).

Mr. Levy is the Co-Founder and CEO of Emefcy, an Israel-based startup with a vision of fundamentally changing the energy economics of wastewater treatment. The systems developed by Emefcy produce electricity directly from the treatment of different types of wastewater. This conversion is made possible by use of microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology. Emefcy raised a first round of financing from Israel Cleantech Ventures in 2007.

Mr. Levy will share lessons learned from his experience as a serial cleantech entrepreneur. He will also discuss the process of taking a startup from idea stage to a successful international company.
