Conduit Partners is delighted to reveal the five cleantech businesses that will be pitching to a panel of investors at the Conduit Investment Showcase on 21 November.
The event, which is supported by the Carbon Trust, features innovative low-carbon early-stage businesses that already have a market presence and a significant revenue pipeline, and are looking for investment to propel them into the next profitable stage of growth.
All five businesses have gone through the Carbon Trust Entrepreneurs Fast Track programme – helping to define their business plan and articulate their value proposition – and the entrepreneurs are primed and prepared to deliver compelling investment pitches at the event.
The five companies are:
ModCell has created a system that makes carbon-negative building a commercial reality. It manufactures pre-fabricated wall and roof cladding using the thermal insulation qualities of straw bale and hemp construction to be used in offices, schools, housing and commercial buildings. ModCell buildings can have zero heat requirements, saving money and CO2 emissions.
Calon Controls designs, develops and supplies energy saving lighting control solutions for office, retail and education environments. Calon’s products can be integrated seamlessly into a low-carbon ‘smart building’ solution.
ElectronicaUK develops energy-efficient electronic control systems that can be applied in a number of markets. Its electric motor technology doubles the driving range of electric vehicles in the city, and its energy-efficient heating control system for the global leisure market will drive early revenues into the business in 2012.
Lontra is bringing to market a patented novel compressor, initially for the water industry, where compressed air is used to treat sewage. As 10% of all industrial electricity is used by compressors, it aims to reduce energy spend by 20%.
Eco Answers has developed Loftzone, an innovative patent-pending loft flooring system to protect the insulation of household properties and deliver the energy savings that come from a properly insulated property. It will help governments and utilities achieve their carbon-reduction targets.
The Conduit Investment Showcase begins at 5.30pm on Monday 21 November at Home House in central London. The presentations take place between 6pm and 7pm, with the opportunity to network and talk with further with the companies afterwards.
