🚀 Iberian Cleantech Is Ready for Take Off 🚀   Over the past year, Cleantech for Iberia has built a powerful coalition of stakeholders from across Spain and Portugal’s cleantech ecosystems, each of whom contributes a unique perspective on the opportunities and challenges facing our sector.    Recently our academic partner IE University hosted the CleanTech Innovation Collider. The event spotlighted the insights and expertise of #startup #founders, ecosystem builders, #investors and #researchers in our coalition, who gathered to discuss innovation and potential breakthroughs in climate technologies in the Iberian Peninsula.   Our Director Bianca Dragomir comments: “I would say the challenge is to really scale cleantech at speed and scale. Iberia is a region that has all the ingredients to become a leader in cleantech across Europe and the world.” Checkout the video linked below for more, and thanks to our hosts at IE University for making it happen!

Your Green Innovation Stands at Crossroads. It is Between Quiet Pride and Profound Impact Something remarkable happens when innovators create solutions that benefit both the planet and profit margins. Yet many brilliant green technologies remain trapped in the development phase, their potential unrealised. We see this pattern repeatedly. A passionate team develops groundbreaking technology that could significantly reduce carbon emissions or waste. They've invested years of research, secured patents, and even attracted early customers. Still, they hesitate at the crucial moment of scaling up. This hesitation often stems from a peculiar paradox. The very qualities that make these innovators exceptional - their meticulousness, attention to detail, and commitment to perfection - can sometimes hold them back from taking bold steps forward. And there's more at stake than just business success. While these innovations mature in labs and pilot projects, the environmental challenges they could address continue to grow. Every month of delay means missed opportunities for positive impact. But it doesn't have to be this way. The right partnerships can bridge the gap between technical excellence and market success. With proper support, green innovations can maintain their integrity while reaching the scale needed to make a real difference. The key lies in finding partners who understand both the technical and commercial aspects of green technology. Partners who appreciate the delicate balance between rapid growth and maintaining quality. Partners who share your commitment to environmental impact while bringing the expertise to navigate market challenges. What's particularly interesting is how this transformation often unfolds. When green innovations find the right support network, they don't just grow - they evolve. They become more refined, more efficient, and ultimately more impactful than their creators initially imagined. This is precisely where Echo Eight Investments comes in. We bring more than just capital to the table. Our network spans industries and continents, connecting innovators with the resources and expertise they need to scale effectively. Ready to explore how your green innovation could achieve its full potential? Let's talk about turning your technical excellence into widespread environmental impact.

Did you know that the UK is the leader for Greentech fundraising in Europe? We often hear about the EU being the most advanced region for sustainability. Here’s the reality: - Global Appeal: A whopping 35.5% of cleantech deals involved foreign investors, the majority originating from the US, the EU, and Japan. - Strong domestic investors: The VC scene is generally much more developed compared to its European counterparts, and cleantech represents 1/3 of all investments for UK-based VCs! - Top-tier research and education: The UK ranks 3rd globally (after the US & Germany) in the top 100 cleantech companies according to the Cleantech Group. This makes sense considering the favourable regulatory landscape for startups, the UK’s commitment to sustainable technologies, and the clever minds cultivated across its top universities.
