Nordic Cleantech Showcase in California

3pm-6pm, November 17, 2011

Cooley LLP Hanover Campus

3175 Hanover Street

Palo Alto, CA 94304

 

Impressive Growth

The Nordic Cleantech sector has shown impressive growth over four consecutive years. This development is fuelled by a growing group of cleantech-focused Nordic investors and has increasingly involved international capital and industrial investors (4 out of 5 top Nordic deals in 2010 included a non-Nordic investor).


Investment Opportunities

This showcase is a matchmaking event between a strong and growing pipeline of Nordic cleantech growth companies and the vibrant California venture community.

 

A jury of 60 leading industrials and investors, connected to the Nordic Cleantech Open, have selected companies based on their growth potential to present their exciting ideas – the best of the best from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland.

 

Five of these are early-stage companies and five are growth-stage companies with proven business cases: all of them addressing international markets early on with scalable solutions. This is the perfect opportunity to see what the Green Valley of the North has to offer, combining the best cases of early and expansion stage companies.
