Forty finalists – entrepreneurs and venture-ready technology companies – have won the opportunity to present their ideas. At times resonant of the popular ‘Dragons’ Den’ format, this green industry showcase is a fast-moving and lively occasion in which to learn about a number of innovations, which could make a significant impact on delivery of the low carbon economy. The finalists will present in four categories:
- Intelligent systems and building design
- Low carbon transport
- Renewables
- Natural resource management and energy efficiency
Delegates will learn about a great range of cutting-edge technologies relevant to the needs of industry. This is an excellent chance to interact with those at the forefront of green industry innovation, and members of the Institution can enjoy 25% off the ticket price, too.
Catherine Hokin, co-founder and Director of ecoConnect CIC , organisers of Cleantech Innovate, said that candidates show incredible commitment when they put their ideas forward for selection: “It was a rigorous judging process but those who enter do it for the quality audience and the rewards. At Cleantech Innovate 2013, Rezatec won the Climate KIC Incubation Award because of their excellent presentation on the day – it introduced them to people they may not have met without that application.”
Greg Barker MP, Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change, will give the keynote speech, opening the day’s events. Five-minute presentations from the technology companies in each of the four categories, with structured opportunities for questions from the audience, will follow. There will also be occasions for networking during coffee and lunch breaks, and at the evening drinks reception.
Awards, including two from Climate KIC, and one from Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership will be announced on the day.
