“What we take for granted might not be here for our children.”
– Albert Arnold “Al” Gore,
Nobel Laureate, Former American vice president, Environmental Activist
Increasing focus and dependence on technology to save the most treasured resources of our planet has renewed attention to innovations in this space. It requires a different perspective to appreciate a technology’s environmental benefits – and statistically, it appears investors and corporate are gaining this perspective.
• 90% of the world’s largest companies are now undertaking climate change initiatives
• Disclosed commitment of $276 bn for climate change initiatives over the next decade
• Clean technologies garnered a record $8.4 bn in investments for 2008
• Clean technologies account for 11% of overall venture capital funding in 2008, up from 1.6% five years ago
We, at i2india, have the “experience” and “knowledge” of technologies with environmental benefits. Our strengths come from the access to a diverse array of innovations which encompass clean energy generation, more efficient energy use, mineral extraction, and waste management. Our expertise in evaluating and identifying high potential technologies have resulted in strategic relationships multiple partners on a global scale. Well connected both in the domestic and international market enable us to overcome practical challenges in this space.
