(PRWEB UK) 9 September 2014 -- Call for Applications for 2014 Cleantech Summit 2014: Deadline September 15

Geneva, Brussels & Rotterdam, July 8th, 2014 – Tech Tour and the International Venture Club announced today that the 2014 Cleantech Summit will be held in Rotterdam on November 20-21, 2014.

The summit will take place on November 20-21 in Rotterdam and will unite 36 selected emerging companies, 20 nominated growth stage companies, 70 high profile international investors and 50 delegates. The CTS Rotterdam will also host a networking dinner on November 20 with 150+ invited guests, representing the ”who’s who” in technology and venture capital in the Cleantech sector. For more information, please see http://www.cleantechsummit.eu.

Fred van Beuningen, Managing Director Rotterdam Partners:
“We are honoured to be working with the Tech Tour to host the 2014 Cleantech Summit. Cleantech is considered a focus area for Rotterdam. Rotterdam has great potential because of its industrial customer base. Our region contains a critical mass of relevant companies in the port and industrial complex, as well as world leading knowledge institutions and an entrepreneurial spirit.“

Investment Highlights in Cleantech
While European investment in Cleantech from traditional pureplay and generalist VC’s is trending downward in recent years these types of investors will still contribute significant investment. There are however two categories of investors that are on the rise. *Investment in Cleantech by Corporates rose to 19% in 2012, up 5% on the previous year. The second category of investors showing growth is the long tail of ‘Other’ Cleantech investors, which aggregates many types, including public sector investors, institutional finance (that are not Venture Capital or Private Equity fund managers), regional development finance and private wealth sources. In terms of sectors that are out in front in terms of investment the top runners are Energy Efficiency, Water and wastewater, recycling & waste and advanced materials.
