Cleantech aims to minimise our environmental impact and, given the UK’s target to reach net zero by 2050, it is an industry which is expected to see significant development in the coming years.

New technologies arise from the need to meet a wide range of targets relating to, for example, decarbonisation of energy systems, more efficient management of resources, and the need to meet various environmental standards. Will these targets be met by improving the efficiency of photovoltaic cells, developing novel energy storage systems, or designing systems to harness the power of biofuels? No matter how technologies evolve, cleantech provides fertile ground for innovation.
