Cleantech Finland &EBTC

Greater Noida Expo Centre, 7th November 2012: Energy security and fast adoption of energy technologies were the key topics of the day at the India Cleantech 2020-REnergizing SMEs’ – a Cleantech Finland & EBTC joint forum that was held today on the sidelines of 6th Renewable Energy India Expo. The seminar jointly organized by Cleantech Finland and European Business and Technology Center (EBTC)was aimed at tackling initiatives and plans for renewable energy promotion in India.

Distinguished panelists discussed India’s Cleantech mission 2020 and how the integration of policy, technology,finances and markets are helping to shape that future beyond borders. Finland has emerged as a leader for clean technology products and solutions and India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change has laid out a target of generating 15% of total power from renewable sources by 2020, starting with 5% in 2010.
“Energy efficiency and energy security are essential in meeting the demands of a growing economy. Finland is one of the top nations in the world in environmental performance and energy efficiency and has a very strong technological know-how in the use of renewable energy sources.” said Ms Mari Pantsar-Kallio, from the Ministry of Employment and Economy of Finland, on the occasion of the Renewable Energy India Expo where she is attending together with a delegation of leading Finnish energy technology companies.

Rapid development of clean technologies is crucial and the success will be critically dependent on how we can leverage new technologies and new innovations. India's energy consumption is the fifth largest in the world and it exceeds production by 12.7%. Rapid economic and population growth mean that the need for energy will continue to grow in the future, so the challenge is to guarantee energy security.

Finland is actively developing cooperation between Finland and India in promoting clean technology.
Cleantech Finland, a network of Finnish cleantech experts, and the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation – Tekes are taking part in India’s primary Renewable Energy event with the aim to create new contacts and identify potential business and R&D partners.
The Renewable Energy Expo is a great platform to leverage the expertise and showcase the best of renewable technologies that benefit the world at large. Being one of the leading countries in energy efficiency and use of renewable energy in the world Finland can offer a broad range of expertise in support of India's growth and development.
