Our Simple & Effective CleanTech Events & Communications Strategy
Everywhere you turn, something is being called “clean”, “green”, “sustainable” and “environmentally friendly”. These buzz words invoke an association between a person, project, movement or brand and a compassionate awareness of earth’s limited natural resources. These terms are used interchangeably, depending on the forum. Beyond this, each entity may have their own unique interpretation & use.
Bolton Hill Consulting uses these terms (“Clean”, “Green” & “Sustainable”) in combination with the word “technology” or “tech”. We refer to “CleanTech” “GreenTech” and “Sustainable Technologies”. In combination, these words indicate that: The earth’s resources require protection, preservation and creative extension to meet the growing needs of an expanding population in a tech driven world.
According to the CleanTech Group, this combination of words- specifically “Cleantech” refers to scientific innovation that improves operational performance, productivity, or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or pollution.
Vinod Khosla, a futurist, investor, inventor and pioneer in many technology areas has suggested that the proper term should be“Maintech”. This term suggests that technological innovation that is clean, green or sustainable should be incorporated into mainstream use and not relegated to a special and separate area of consideration. Bolton Hill Consulting agrees with this assessment whether or not the actual term “Maintech” is used.
The term CleanTech is often associated with venture capital funds. The CleanTech Group has tracked venture capital investment in these areas as follows.
