Clean and Cool 2012 Takes the UK's Top "CleanTech" Companies to Silicon Valley

SAN FRANCISCO, March 28, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    16 businesses travel to San Francisco to champion British cleantech innovation

    This week, 16 of the UK's most promising clean technology companies are in Silicon
Valley as part of Clean and Cool Mission 2012 [http://cleanandcoolmission.com ]. This
select group is visiting San Francisco to showcase unique green technologies and develop
new business in the US by connecting with investors, customers, suppliers and partners.
The trip coincides with the Cleantech Forum San Francisco
[http://events.cleantech.com/sanfrancisco/agenda ] event - bringing together companies
offering new technology, services, or business models that address environmental, energy,
and resource challenges.

    The companies chosen for the mission are recognised as having high growth potential in
cleantech areas including energy storage and energy efficiency. Clean and Cool Mission
2012 companies are also offering new approaches to reducing carbon, for example: a hybrid
solar module to generate electricity and heat, seawater and sunlight-fueled greenhouse
technology, a breakthrough electric turbocharger engine that uses ultra-high speed motors,
and much more.

    The companies were selected for the entrepreneurial trade mission to San Francisco
through a competition organised by the Technology Strategy Board
[http://www.innovateuk.org ], The Long Run Venture [http://www.thelongrunventure.com ] and
the Co-sponsorship Agency [http://www.cosponsorshipagency.com ], supported by UK Trade &
Investment (UKTI) [http://www.ukti.gov.uk/home.html?guid=none ] and other private sector
sponsors with the aim of opening up their businesses to the U.S. market.

    "What we're trying to do with this mission is help companies that are ready to expand
their operations in growing areas of clean technology, by going where the action is in
Silicon Valley," said Richard Miller, Technology Strategy Board's Head of Sustainability.
"A lot of the money being invested in clean technology around the globe is coming from
California and by taking people here they have a chance to pitch to investors, meet
business partners and customers and find out the characteristics of the market."

    As well as helping to accelerate these UK cleantech businesses, other goals for the
Clean and Cool Mission are to boost Britain's growing clean technology sector and drive
investment into the UK. With more than $180 million USD raised in private finance by
companies attending previous missions, and more than 20% of the selected companies now
with a US subsidiary, it has proven to be a successful strategy.

    The winning companies were congratulated at a reception held on 14th March at the
London Stock Exchange, home to more than 70 listed cleantech companies. The Cleantech
Forum San Francisco takes place from Wednesday, 28th March and the Clean and Cool Mission
companies will be in San Francisco from 30th March.

    Here are the 16 chosen companies:
