Cleantech Opportunities that no one is talking about!

Introducing Clean Boot – EAI’s Cleantech Entrepreneurship Boot Camp

With sustainability, cleantech and renewable energy becoming important imperatives world over, there is little surprise that there are a number of new and interesting business opportunities emerging across the entire cleantech domain.

Many entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs in India are also keen to explore opportunities in this domain.

Many however have a need for more information, market intelligence, and professional connections before they could undertake their first steps.

To help these entrepreneurs, EAI will be organizing regular Cleantech Entrepreneurship Boot Camps (Clean Boots) starting Jan 2014.

Agenda and Entry Fee

Each Clean Boot will be a one-day program, with small groups (max 25 members) in order to facilitate extensive networking and interactions.

Broadly, the agenda for each will be as follows

• 1 hour – Presentations/perspectives from successful cleantech entrepreneurs
• 2 hours – Strategy Presentations/perspectives from EAI and other industry experts
• 2 hours – Q&A / brief presentations from participants
• 3 hours – custom networking between participants

There will be an entry fee of Rs. 4,000 for each participant – this includes lunch and refreshments.

Payment Details

Each Clean Boot will have a maximum of 25 participants, first-come first-served. If you are interested, do send a note to consult@eai.in with the title Clean Boot Participation.

Why Cleantech

The sustainability industry is the world’s fastest growing business sector. Not just globally, where the sector’s revenues could top $4 trillion this year, but also in India, where EAI estimates that the total sector could have revenues of over $165 billion!

With both central and state governments providing increasing policy support (e.g., the National Solar Mission), we expect these industries to see sustained growth in future. Many domains within cleantech also have export potential (e.g., organic foods) making them very attractive to entrepreneurs.

Finally, many technologies within cleantech are at a nascent stage, providing opportunities for smaller entrepreneurs whose speed and flexibility allows them to quickly tap emerging markets.

Exciting Domains at Clean Boot

Each Clean Boot covers a mixture of mainstream and niche areas of clean technology that suit entrepreneurs with differing risk/return requirements and diversification strategies. Some of the exciting domains that will be explored at Clean Boot include
