Great news from our portfolio teams! Cleantech Group just released their Global Cleantech-100 report with the leading companies in #cleantech! I am thrilled to share that four of our portfolio startups Akselos , tado° , Piclo and ev.energy earned a spot on the prestigious Global Cleantech 100 list! The report has an impressive track record of 15 years. Looking back at the first edition the authors remember: “The first Global Cleantech 100 was dominated by companies developing the beginnings of today’s solar industry — mostly on cells, next-gen panels and PV systems.” Today solar is a mature global industry. Just one example of how rapidly the energy transition is happening – and even accelerating in 2024. Which of the young businesses are shaping the new energy world for the next decades? Congratulations to the teams driving innovation in the sustainable energy space! 🌱🌏 Take a look at the other amazing startups that made it to the list: https://lnkd.in/eWR55Vbb #CleanTech #Innovation #FutureEnergy 

Call it cleantech 2.0. In recent years, there has been a huge increase in public and private spending, both in the US and elsewhere, on technologies and infrastructure to address climate change. A recent analysis estimates that total green investments reached $213 billion in the US during the 12 months beginning July, 2022. Most of that spending is allocated to building sources of renewable energy, such as wind or solar, as well as to supporting battery and EV manufacturing and creating green hydrogen infrastructure. And the enormous amount of money is creating potential opportunities for the next generation of technologies to feed the expanding markets. #cleantech #greentech

My contribution focused on integrating the energy and industry transition, combining a.o. competitive energy prices with security of demand, and grid access with flexibility

EIT InnoEnergy has appointed Ryan Dings as the new CEO for the US market, aiming to leverage his extensive cleantech experience to drive growth and innovation. Ryan Dings will lead the Boston-based team and foster a collaborative environment for industrial scale-ups, enhancing US-EU partnerships in clean energy technologies. "We have a handful of decades to build a thriving regenerative economy to replace centuries of extractive economic activity. Climate change is the challenge of our lifetime. And potentially, one of our greatest economic opportunities. It will foster innovation and investment in abundance if we can harness the right skills, entrepreneurs and technology to scale at unprecedented levels and meet industrial policy targets," said Ryan Dings. #CleanEnergy #NetZero #ClimateTech #USMarket #EUCollaboration #Innovation #Sustainability #RyanDings #InnoEnergy #TransatlanticSummit #Cleantech #GreenTechnology #IndustrialGrowth #Decarbonization
