As always, Tech Tour brought together a wealth of interesting people and projects to the Cleantech event. David Brown, BroadBit Batteries
Great companies, projects and people that will hopefully shape the future of technological advancements.
Julian Riebartsch, btov Partners
The Cleantech even pinpointed a core part of the energy transition: how can new business develop while realizing our targets to reduce GHG emissions fast and transform the energy system. The focus on new business, entrepreneurship and start-ups made clear what synergies we can achieve between the two. I really liked how it is was organized.
Andre Faaij, University of Groningen
The 2018 Cleantech Summit on Energy Transition stood out as one of the better events I attended this year. It brought together an excellent mix of Start-ups and Corporate and independent VCs, complemented with a few inspiring keynote speakers in a setting that really stimulated sharing experiences, comparing notes and building new relations. I already look forward to next year’s event!

At the Tech Tour 2018 Cleantech Summit I had the great opportunity to connect to young high-tech and high-potential firms in the energy industry. As a jury member, I was impressed by the variance and quality of companies and young leaders presenting as well as by the competency of my fellow jury members. I would be definitely happy about another invite in the coming years. High-Five for High-Tech!
