This month, the Green Exchange focuses on how to advance the Cleantech Innovation ecosystem in the Öresund region. We go to Finland and Israel to understand what strategies they have put in place in the previous years to rank at the top of the Global Cleantech Innovation Index 2014.
In part 2 of the show, we debrief on those findings with a panel of experts from the region. Take a deep dive on topics such as: Public support to cleantech entrepreneurs, early-stage investing, commercialization of cleantech innovation, emerging markets, test beds and public purchasing policies for cleantech, entrepreneurship culture, measuring ecosystem performance and more. The show also features music and snap interviews with entrepreneurs from the region.
