The Cleantech Open Global Ideas Competition 2010

The Singapore national competition of the Cleantech Open is organized by Energy Carta.

It is a non-profit organization founded by a team of young Singaporeans who are driven by a passion for clean technology, sustainable development, the environment, and a desire to invoke change through their actions.

The Cleantech Open is the world’s largest clean technology business competition. The competition hopes to attract the best clean technology ideas from around the world. Ideas can range from revolutionary ways to generate clean energy to better water filtration to ideas about how governmental policies around climate change can foster new businesses in one of the competition categories.

If your idea beats out the competition in your National Competition, you get to represent Singapore as a Global Ideas finalist at the annual Cleantech Open Awards Gala on November 17, 2010 in San Francisco.

The competition ends on the 30th of September at 2359 hours.
