When it comes to Cleantech funding, the rules are changing.
Clean Technology Venture Funds have continued their recovery spurred by economic stimulus investment. Investors, multinationals, and governments are all seizing the multi-billion dollar clean-tech opportunity – setting up new and innovative technologies that compete on price and performance while reducing pollution, waste, and resource use. How will the next wave of financing options impact development?
This timely seminar explains who is investing, what the role of government funding for cleantech is and what the DOE is funding in this resurgence period for the cleantech sector. The panel provides the latest information about where Cleantech investors are making investments and the relative state of the market, as well as what government and vc`s are funding, how investors find deals to fund, and where exits are expected down the road.
