Clean technology competition drives ingenuity
|
Innovative solutions tackling pollution, energy efficiency, renewable energies, green buildings, smart electricity grids and new transportation systems were among the 70 entries in the Australian Clean Technologies Ideas Competition. |

Announcing 11 finalists, the Innovation Minister Senator said all entries highlighted the world-class calibre of Australian business creativity. As a part of being shortlisted, the finalists were mentored by the Department and competition partners during an intensive workshop covering crucial business know-how and skills to help make their ideas a commercial reality.
The competition winner will be announced at an awards dinner in Sydney on 6 October 2011. At the dinner, firms will have the opportunity to network with fellow clean technology innovators, see cutting-edge clean technology solutions and gain an understanding of what Australian innovation can offer to the world.
The winner will represent Australia at the international Cleantech Open Global Ideas Competition in the United States, competing against entrants from 90 countries.
The competition is supported by Enterprise Connect, Commercialisation Australia, the CSIRO and Austrade. For more information or to register to attend the awards dinner, visit: www.cleantechopen.com.au
