When Cherokee fund (whose CEO is Tom Darden) acquired E-Cat technology through Industrial Heat subsidiary, some found report of recent agreement with Chinese officials on Baoding HIDZ about research in "Nickel Hydrogen Energy"... the NiH LENR.
This March 26 there is an event at Duke University, about Cleantech in China. They talk of a "networking event" with Triangle-executive (the Research triangle in NC is the innovation zone where Cherokee is).
Tom Darden is one of the speaker.
What will be presented at this conference ? probably not much, and probably not E-cat technology, but who knows ?
Maybe some description of the agreement with Baoding HIDZ...

Join EDGE and its event partners for the 2014 EDGE Forum as we focus on Cleantech in China: Energy, Environment, and Innovation. Executives, entrepreneurs, and investors will gather with Duke students and faculty to learn more about the business opportunities and realities of addressing energy and environment in China.
More about the Event...
Experts predict that up to 8 trillion yuan ($1.28 trillion) will be invested in the development of China's green economy in its current Five-Year Plan (2011-15) period. By 2030, China is expected to more than double its power generating capacity. As China industrializes at a dramatic pace, government and business leaders recognize that this development must happen in a way that addresses the country's rising pollution levels and constraints on natural resources. Both growth opportunities and environmental challenges abound. Targets for increasing investment in non-fossil fuels, reducing energy consumption per capita, rethinking transportation norms, and building low-carbon cities all represent innovation opportunities for China.
The EDGE Forum on Cleantech in China at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business will look at China's sustainable development future and its implications for the private sector. Through dynamic conversations and panel discussions, we will examine the tensions between social, economic, and environmental drivers in China, and highlight examples of clean technology innovations and investments that are shaping the market.
The Forum will conclude with a networking event with Triangle-area executives, entrepreneurs, investors, and Duke faculty, researchers, and students.
