Cleantech
Cleantech refers to all of the technologies, products and services designed to ensure the sustainable use of resources, accelerate the energy transition and meet the challenges posed by climate change. Its main purpose is to reduce the consumption of resources and manage our natural systems more carefully. New technologies play a fundamental role in cleantech, but cleantech is not just about using innovative technology that exploits our natural resources more sparingly. It is also about adopting an attitude, habits and a way of thinking that result in individuals and businesses from every sector of industry operating in a way that preserves the planet’s resources.

“Innovation is about more than technology. To ensure it is supported by the people, it must also be social, structural, commercial and, most importantly, backed by the law.”
- Eric Plan, Secretary General of CleantechAlps
