Cleantech sector gathers momentum with launch of Sydney Cleantech Network

1

This week we were presented with further evidence that cleantech is rapidly gaining mainstream status in Australia with the launch yesterday of the Sydney Cleantech Network (SCN).

An initiative of research and investment analysis provider Australian CleanTech, SCN will host a series of events at which emerging cleantech companies are given the opportunity to pitch for investment and partners.

The SCN has attracted some heavy hitting organisations as supporting partners – the Australian Securities Exchange, Clayton Utz, Macquarie Capital Advisors, KPMG, New Energy Finance and Griffith Hack – suggesting that corporate Australia has clearly begun to recognise the significant role cleantech will play in the global economy, and the quality of emerging Australian cleantech companies.

The five companies selected to pitch at the SCN launch were:
