China’s huge energy, water and related natural resource challenges are creating vast markets for cleantech solutions. The Middle Kingdom is also emerging as a major source of cleantech innovation for export. Be it a market or an innovator, China is a key actor on the global cleantech stage, with a particularly vital and strategic role in addressing climate change. This inaugural China Forum will enable top Chinese and international decision-makers to build relationships and identify opportunities; to learn about China’s role in the most important technological sector of the 21st century.

Cleantech Forum XV Beijing builds on the success of fourteen renowned Cleantech Forums previously held in Europe and North America. This is the only investment forum dedicated specifically to facilitate the financing of companies engaged in commercializing clean technologies. Since our inaugural event in November 2002, Cleantech Forums™ have gained high praise from investors and entrepreneurs alike. Our successive Forums have been the largest gatherings of this kind, with a combined attendance of more than 5000 participants and comprehensive coverage by the world’s most renowned business and investment media companies.

The first day presents an exciting agenda of thought leaders, keynotes and plenary sessions on policy, investment environment and climate change - capped with a networking reception. Additionally - there is the opportunity to view leading entrepreneurial companies, hand-picked by our Forum Selection Committee, present their value propositions. The second day is a fast-paced educational conference with topics ranging from cleaner coal and water technologies to structural configurations of companies entering the market as well as the challenges and opportunities in reaching (gatekeepers of) cleantech companies in China.

More than $850M has been raised by forum companies since 2002. Whether you’re an investor looking for opportunities or a CEO in search of strategic partners, you’ll be able to talk directly with senior executives from both sides of the industry.
