The 2011 and 2012 Global Cleantech 100 Companies

The annual Global Cleantech 100 provides a list of 100 highly promising companies put together by a panel of hundreds of industry insiders from around the world. They are among thousands of cleantech companies that take the idea of a greener future as their day to day challenge. An expert panel made up to 70 individuals, drawn principally from leading investors in Asia, Europe and North America, and from representatives of multi-nationals from a deliberately-varied (and balanced) set of industrial backgrounds. The end result is a list of companies that command a broad base of respect and support from many players within the global cleantech innovation ecosystem, not just insiders. BioAmber has been listed as one of the 100 most promising companies two years in a row.
