Search for the world’s best Cleantech solutions – 10 Finnish companies compete internationally has begun. And GASEK is among those who are reaching for it.

The contest is organized by the Global Cleantech Cluster Association (GCCA), an association for the most eminent international Cleantech clusters. The Finnish Cleantech Cluster, coordinated by Lahti SBP, is one of its founding members. GCCA’s Global Cleantech Later Stage Award sifts out the most promising later stage Cleantech companies from all over the world.

The ten contenders from Finland are: Forchem (biofuels), GASEK (biofuels), Valopaa (energy efficiency), Savo-Solar (solar energy), There Corporation (smart grids), Wello (wave and tidal energy), BMH Technologies (waste management), Liqum (water supply and sewerage), The Switch (wind energy) and Eniram (transport).

A group of leading risk investors and entrepreneurs from all over the world select the award winners that represent the best in clean technology. The winners will receive publicity on the international investment markets and an excellent networking opportunity.

The finalists will be announced this fall and the winners will be announced in November at an international clean energy conference in Savannah, GA, USA.
