The Guardian Cleantech Summit 2010
We approach the 2010 Guardian Cleantech Summit at an extremely interesting time for the sector; increasing risk aversion at the venture capital end of the finance spectrum, increasingly capital intensive projects and increasingly significant time scales in bringing clean technologies to parity.
The Summit brings investors, cleantech companies, policy makers and entrepreneurs together to explore mechanisms for developing, scaling and financing the clean technologies that will decarbonise our economy, enable us to use resources in ever more efficient ways and deliver jobs as part of a new green economy.

• Tales from the frontline: the company that delivered the year's biggest market impact
• The Global Cleantech 100: perspectives from the world's most promising cleantech companies:

• Explore corporate venturing: is it the future for technology development and deployment?
• Debates: emerging markets threat or opportunity? What can the UK win at in the world of cleantech?
• Policy direction update: the new UK government outlines key priorities
