Funding Cleantech Conference
This conference is designed to be directly relevant to cleantech companies, project developers and social entrepreneurs as it covers most key aspects of finance, including grants, Innovate UK activities, corporate and project equity, project finance for clean energy, resource and sustainable solutions and services activities at every level.
In addition to the usual investor panel, we have a dedicated crowdfunding session where the whole process will be explained and analysed, and then a selected number of fund raising companies, who have participated in the masterclasses given by Raise Impact and the UK Crowdfunding Association in November, will present to the audience.
