Un’impresa su 4 in Italia è green oriented

Un’impresa su quattro in Italia è ‘orientata’ alla sostenibilità: è ‘green oriented’. Dall’industria all’edilizia, ai trasporti, un quarto delle imprese italiane ha cioè saputo fare di innovazione e ambiente un fattore di competitività e una ricetta anticrisi. E’ quanto rileva l’Italian Council for Eco Innovation, l’Osservatorio Innovazione e Tecnologia per la green economy nato proprio per incentivare questo potenziale ‘verde’ made in Italy e darne visibilità anche verso gli investitori e i mercati internazionali. Frutto di un partenariato tra il ministero dell’Ambiente e la Fondazione per lo sviluppo sostenibile con il supporto dell’Ice-Agenzia per la promozione all’estero e l’internazionalizzazione delle imprese italiane, l’osservatorio è stato presentato a Roma.

The Daily Startup: Clean-Tech Funds Keeping It In The Family

Clean-technology investing is on the decline. Venture capital firms put just $2.74 billion into clean-tech startups in 2013, down from a high of $6.02 billion in 2008, according to Dow Jones VentureSource. A few recent glimmers of hope haven’t caused traditional VC funds to flood back into the sector yet, but family offices have filled the void to some degree. The latest is Prelude Ventures, which has emerged in recent months as one of the more active clean-tech investors, Yuliya Chernova reports for VentureWire.

Drones striking a high-tech blow for conservation and the environment

The use of drones has generally been synonymous with controversial globalised warfare, but falling costs and higher performance are now making them increasingly useful for conservation and environmental organisations. In the US, a non-profit group called Conservation Drones is working with manufacturers to scale up production, making drones more affordable for environmental groups and conservation scientists, with results that have already benefited Australian research groups. The founding director of Conservation Drones, Lian Pin Koh, told Guardian Australia the drones were a “game changer” that would “soon become a standard item in the toolbox”.

Big Data, for the Environment

Devices that can help homeowners cut their electric bills and get to work on less fuel are getting easier to use, thanks to better data, according to Sheeraz Haji, chief executive of Cleantech Group, the research consultancy sponsoring the annual gathering. To make products smarter and more accessible to individual consumers, devices are being coupled with digital networks and analytical tools—think of Nest Labs Inc.’s smart thermostat, a product that helped prompt Google Inc. GOOG -0.40% to buy the company last January for $3.2 billion.
