CleanTech / GreenTech encompasses a variety of industries, including but not limited to manufacturing and installation of renewable energy products (like solar cells, wind turbines, biodiesel engines, etc.); recycling and waste management solutions; and green transportation products. One of the key characteristics of the many companies in this diverse industry do share, is the overall visibility they have recently received from consumers and investors alike. That is why the CleanTech / GreenTech industry attracted over $3 billion in venture investment globally in 2007. However the analysts predict that once the industry starts to mature within the next few years, only best-in-class manufacturers with the innovative technology and the streamlined operations will be able to return the investments. Until then it is a race to;
- Quickly and efficiently introduce innovative products
- Establish vertically integrated supply chains that deliver reliable products with short lead times and with minimum carbon footprint
- Optimize manufacturing processes that consistently produce quality products with minimum waste
- Grow production capacity that will support market share targets, while establishing a sustainable demand and supply profile without jeopardizing long-term viability
