NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ROTH Capital Partners (ROTH), www.roth.com, a full service investment bank focused on serving emerging growth companies and their investors, today announced that it will co-host an event on October 4th, 2019, at UN Headquarters in New York City with companies helping implement UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
NGO Sustainability, the Republic of Slovenia and ROTH Capital Partners are hosting this UN side event for UN delegates and Secretariat as well as the private sector and academia to familiarize them with emerging technologies that can help member countries better achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs) by 2030. This event will introduce six public companies with developments throughout Africa, Asia, and South America addressing many SDGs directly: Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG7), Responsible Production of Mining Resources and Responsible Consumption through Electronic Waste Recycling (SDG12) but also indirectly: SDG9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG13 – Climate Action, SDG17 – Partnerships for the Goals.
