Accelerating Cleantech Scaling
We unite entrepreneurs, investors and researchers to break down policy barriers and to accelerate cleantech innovation.
WHO WE ARE
We realize policy-driven growth for cleantech
We are a coalition of leading cleantech startups, scaleups, investors and ecosystem enablers in the Benelux region. Together, we work with policymakers at a national, Benelux Union and EU level to create a clear and convincing path for scaling breakthrough solutions that power a sustainable future.
OUR MEMBERS
CLEANTECH
Clean technology is not just an environmental necessity – it is a big economic opportunity
These are the technologies that have the potential to revolutionize an industry due to their FOAK (first of a kind) status and breakthrough science, and that are needed to solve the challenge of getting to net zero by 2050. They are the sustainable innovations that raise the bar and make you go 'Wow!’. At scale, they power a sustainable, competitive and resilient Europe.
POLICY ASKS
Let’s remove the policy hurdles!
Market access
What if the solutions of the future would be broadly available at an acceptable market price? What would happen if there were no high operational costs, slow permitting, and fragmented regulations leading to a longer time to market and a ‘green premium’?
Cleantech companies need to be able to produce and sell their products competitively. We need to fast-track market access for gamechangers by lowering regulatory barriers and enlarging the market they can play in.
Funding
The solutions are there. Some need more R&D to get the technology ready for commercialization, some need a pilot plant to be built, others come with high initial production costs. What if we embrace the uncertainty of innovation and stop looking to others to invest or lend?
Cleantech growth needs bold and patient money. We need to unlock funding at scale to ensure breakthrough technologies can grow and stay in Europe.
User uptake
What if a product is better than the alternatives but it comes at a premium? Would you buy it? Economies of scale will get the price down. But then someone needs to start buying. What if using these solutions would be made more attractive?
Scaling cleantech requires market demand. We need to boost user uptake through demand-driven policies that empower industries and consumers to adopt cleantech solutions.
