Greentech: Within Greentech, energy efficiency in form of green building materials and smart grid and wastewater management look most attractive. Mobile internet: We see a number of consumer and business applications for the mobile phone unleashed through the iPhone and other smart phones. We also see the mobile Internet users out number the PC Internet users world wide in the next few years. In countries like India, the mobile Internet users may already have crossed PC Internet users. This opens up limitless opportunities for entrepreneurs to create businesses.
Hottest technologies
Energy storage technology (new battery chemistries, capacitors, and more) is an area that I am following very closely as it can revolutionize the alternative energy space. With the right storage technology, intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind can start competing with incumbent energy sources such as coal and natural gas.
Advice to entrepreneurs
This is as good a time to start a new business as ever. My advice to entrepreneurs would be to find a big technical problem that serves a large market. Gather a team and get going. Silicon valley is reinventing itself and entrepreneurs are the force behind this change.

This mail may be a surprise to you because you did not give me the permission to do
so and neither do you know me but before I tell you about myself I want you to please
forgive me for sending this mail without your permission. I am writing this letter in
confidence believing that if it is the will of God for you to help me and my family,
God almighty will bless and reward you abundantly. I need an honest and trust worthy
person like you to entrust this huge transfer project unto.
My name is Mrs. Mary David, The Branch Manager of a Financial Institution. I am a
Ghanaian married with 3 kids. I am writing to solicit your assistance in the transfer
of US$7,500,000.00 Dollars. This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am
the manager made as profit last year (i.e. 2010 financial year). I have already
submitted an annual report for that year to my head office in Accra-Ghana as I have
watched with keen interest as they will never know of this excess. I have since,
placed this amount of US$7,500,000.00 Dollars on an Escrow Coded account without a
beneficiary (Anonymous) to avoid trace.
As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am
impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account
on my behalf. I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as a foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, and 60% would be for me. I do need to
stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a
bank-to-bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of
this fund so that the fund can be transferred to your account.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response to me. This is why
and only reason why I contacted you, I am willing to go into partnership investment
with you owing to your wealth of experience, So please if you are interested to
assist on this venture kindly contact me back for a brief discussion on how to
proceed.
