Cleanweb is the “most powerful lever available to entrepreneurs hoping to solve environmental and ecological challenges.” - Sunil Paul, Spring Ventures

Panel Description:
The current climate for manufacturing-based cleantech investment may be tough, but one of of the few bright spots is “Cleanweb.”

Cleanweb leverages the capability of the internet, social media, and mobile technologies to solve energy and other resource scarcity problems. Since the term Cleanweb was coined by Sunli Paul of Spring Ventures in mid-2011, grassroots cleanweb communities have popped up organically around the world. These communities host local meetups and hackathons that have brought together the developers and cleantech entrepreneurs to create apps and software solutions across diverse sectors spanning transportation, energy, waste, water, and agriculture.

Join us March 7 to learn more about Cleanweb from our rockstar panel of experts, investors and companies in the space!
