The changes needed to address the climate crisis cannot be achieved by a single company.

Clean technologies can bring decarbonization, competitiveness, and security. But they need the right policies to scale. 

Cleantech innovation is thriving around the world. To scale and industrialize, innovators need access to market, clear demand signals, and strong private and public investment. Cleantech Group’s Advocacy team builds coalitions of cleantech and policy leaders to chart a path to industrial leadership. 

Cleantech for Europe

The EU is facing a dual energy and climate crisis. The urgency to wean ourselves off fossil fuels has never been clearer. But we need to do so while creating a better, prosperous future for all. The EU has already developed most of the technologies it needs to get to net-zero and energy autonomy. By massively deploying them, and developing earlier-stage ones, we will meet our climate ambitions and create a new industrial leadership.

Launched in 2021 and supported by Breakthrough Energy and the European Climate Foundation, Cleantech for Europe represents the trailblazers developing, deploying, and investing in clean technologies across the EU. Our mission is to bridge the gap between cleantech and policy leaders. We equip policymakers with insights about cleantech and build coalitions to chart a new path for the continent.

Cleantech for France

France has all it takes to succeed in its green reindustrialization. Scaling up French cleantech is key to unlock our decarbonization, jobs, and economic competitiveness. Cleantech for France is an initiative to bridge the gap between cleantech and policy leaders to help France succeed in its green reindustrialization.

The initiative is powered by Cleantech Group and supported by Breakthrough Energy and the European Climate Foundation.

Cleantech for UK

Cleantech for UK is a leading advocacy body representing a powerful coalition of 16 company builders and investors, spanning the innovation lifecycle—from start-ups to established IPOs.

‍This diverse group is united by a commitment to advancing Britain’s clean and sustainable growth across critical industries such as manufacturing, construction, transport, and agriculture. As the government seeks to kickstart economic recovery, Cleantech for UK is at the forefront of promoting innovative technologies poised to create thousands of jobs and significantly boost productivity nationwide.

By spearheading this coalition, we champion innovations that position Britain as a clean energy superpower, advocating for zero-carbon technologies and sustainable practices that reduce emissions, lower costs, and ensure long-term prosperity.

Cleantech for Iberia

Iberia has the ingredients to become the next cleantech industrial hub: clean energy, a developing hydrogen economy, and an existing industrial base. It could become a leader in sectors like green steel and long-duration energy storage. With a six-fold investment increase over five years, the Iberian cleantech ecosystem is ready to take off.

Cleantech for Iberia is a new initiative to orchestrate the cleantech innovators, investors, and policymakers of the Iberian ecosystem and allow the peninsula to enhance its potential as an EU clean energy hub and a top location for clean industry.

Cleantech for Italy

Cleantech for Italy is a coalition of leading innovators, investors, and research institutions advocating for cleantech to play a central role in Italy’s industrial strategy. Its work paves the way for innovators to grow into the global champions driving decarbonization and enabling a more resilient planet, while making cleantech a growth opportunity.

The coalition aims to seize a once in a generation opportunity to reset the course, enhance energy and supply chain security, transform our industrial system, and accelerate the home-grown clean industries and net-zero solutions which will create the green jobs of the future.
