The Rushlight Clean Technologies Show 2010 is a new event designed to be of substantial value and interest to:

•  organisations that are developing clean technologies
•  firms advising such organisations
•  investors in clean technologies
•  and companies that follow and are looking to adopt clean technologies.

It is the only event in the UK and Ireland that showcases the best of our new energy, waste, water and environmental solutions for our future low resource society and brings together investors, customers and advisers with the clean technology companies themselves.

This event includes the following main attractions:

The Rushlight Clean Technologies Show, where, amongst others, current entrants and past successful entrants to the Rushlight Awards will display their technologies.

The Rushlight Cleantech Funding Solutions Conference during the afternoon, with 3 keynote speeches and a raft of funding solutions for pre and post revenue cleantech developers, equity valley-of-death-trapped organisations and early-stage deployment companies. 

Workshops throughout the morning aimed to inform cleantech companies at all stages of growth, including grants, technical communications, IP management, finance, overseas expansion, regional benefits, business growth advice and PR.  In addition, there will be a stream of talks for clean technology adopters, summarising the development of technologies in energy, water and waste.  The workshops will be given by the Carbon Trust, the Technology Strategy Board, the EPSRC, the Energy Technologies Institute, the Isle of Man DTI, PWC, Withers & Rogers, Orion Inovations, Abchurch Communications, PNO Consultants and Supply London.

Workshops throughout the afternoon covering waste, energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and their deployment issues.  AEA, Utilyx Development Services and Adian Consulting are presenting.

Non-stakeholder funding centre, where grant and other funders of research and development have stands to be on hand to answer your particular questions.

Equity investors centre, where a range of active cleantech investing VCs and others have stands to be on hand to answer your particular questions.

Customer centre, where major energy and other resource users and managers who are looking to adopt clean technology solutions will be available and keen to meet companies with innovative solutions to their CRC, fossil-fuel reliance, water, environment and waste challenges. 

This event is designed to be flexible, so that delegates and other attendees can dip in and out of the event to suit their needs.  That is why we have chosen a central London venue, close to transport hubs, the investing community and a number of major resource users' offices.
