The document discusses how cleantech is poised for rapid expansion by moving beyond its origins in venture capital funding and into the mainstream. It highlights how cleantech now encompasses a wide range of technologies and services across many industries that improve efficiency and sustainability. Major drivers for cleantech adoption include growing population and resource constraints, urbanization, energy security concerns, climate change impacts, and evolving consumer and policy pressures. The document argues cleantech represents significant investment opportunities as many large companies increasingly invest in cleantech to remain competitive in the face of these trends.

Zinc8 Energy Solutions: Getting de-risked and raised by a global network of c...Stephan Bogner
When some of the world´s brightest people and biggest companies unite, there must be an urgency to solve a bigger problem. In order to build a smarter, more sustainable future for the planet, a far-reaching multidisciplinary effort is needed to speed up the rate of greentech innovation together – and to finance the economies of the future.
Right now, there is an innovation-based industrial revolution going on to re-shape our world for the better.
Unfortunately, it´s happening too slow. Innovations and new technologies take too long to enter the market and to then scale in a meaningful way. Capital, capabilities (know-how) and connections are the greatest limiting factors.
Coming up to ten years on from the 2007 Technology Futures programme we conducted for Shell, several people have been asking how well the expert perspectives have played out. This is the summary of two sets of weeklong discussions that took place in Bangalore and London, each of which included around 20 experts from across multiple disciplines all looking out 20 years at how technology may, or may not influence society. This was the second run of the Technology Futures programme after the initial project in 2004 where similar discussions had taken place in Amsterdam and Houston.
At a time when oil accounted for over a third of the world’s energy supply and renewables for less than a tenth of that amount, core areas of future focus were on the potential rise of biofuels, nuclear, solar, wind and wave as well as the challenges in enabling a more electric world. Specific issues raised included the opportunities from second and third generation biofuels and the role of synthetic organisms in the mix; pebble bed nuclear reactors and the potential for fusion; concentrated solar power, the increasing efficiency of photovoltaics and associated cost reductions; energy storage, battery power and superconductivity; hydrogen and microbial fuel cells; the impact of maglev trains, autonomous vehicles as well as data mining and quantum computing. Nearly ten years on the summaries of each of these, the likely development paths and the associated constraints and enabling factors are a recommended read.
Personally, however, it is the later chapters that are most insightful, especially in the context of today’s challenges. Whereas many of the energy related technology shifts have played out, largely in line with some of the expert expectations, it is some of cross-cutting views from 2007 that still seem to be at the fore of our to-do list: How to better collaborate globally and locally, especially across multi-sector partnerships; how to manage distributed activities better than centralised ones; how to better share value from intellectual property; and how best to harness artificial intelligence are all questions as relevant today as they were when we first held the discussions.
While we spend more of our time continuing to look forward, seeking new opportunities and challenges to address, if you have a spare hour or so, I would recommend a flick through the summary report which is available for download here.

Looking to scale something up? Depending on how you're going after your market/ acquiring users, you may need to build a sales organization that's optimized for a top-down or bottom-up sales process (or perhaps both).
Watch the video overview at http://a16z.com/2015/03/06/go-to-market-bootcamp/ and then check out this slide deck, which shares some concrete tips and tools for accelerating time to market -- from the go-to-market experts at a16z, led by 'sales savant' Mark Cranney.
Because selling to enterprises is a lot like getting a bill passed through Congress: it can get stuck. And getting stuck -- or going down the wrong path -- can mean death to startups in a competitive market. Here's how to avoid that.
Climate exposure is defined as the potential gains or losses in an investor’s portfolio due to climate change. It encapsulates both climate-related financial risks as well as opportunities. Though climate exposure has many components, it can be divided into three broad subcategories: • Policy and legal exposure: The financial effects of policies designed to mitigate climate change (e.g., carbon pricing schemes) or policies designed to adapt to it (e.g., water management infrastructure and rationing) (Burton, Diringer, and Smith 2006); or litigation or adjudication related to climate change (Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency 2007; Guyatt et al. 2011). • Physical and ecological exposure: The financial implications of changes to earth’s ecosystems. For example: the costs of shorter and warmer winters on the ski industry (Bebb 2015); the financial impacts of hotter weather on agricultural yields; or the economic consequences of severe weather/climatic events (e.g., Hurricane Sandy) that disrupt human economic activity. • Market and economic exposure: Human responses to the aforementioned policy and ecological changes that will reshape businesses, industries, economies, and markets (e.g., growth in clean energy technologies that threaten the fossil fuel industry) (Guyatt et al. 2011).
Conservation Finance. From Niche to Mainstream: The Building of an Institutio...The Rockefeller Foundation
Sustainable farmland, healthy forests, clean water, and abundant habitat stand to become more valuable as the global population climbs to nine billion by 2050. Already, pioneering investors have put together financial solutions that combine real assets, such as tropical forests, with cash flows from operations in fields such as sustainable timber, agriculture, and ecotourism. Conservation finance, as this field is known, represents an undeveloped, but emerging private sector investment opportunity of major proportion.
Filling this gap to finance the preservation of the world’s precious ecosystems will require USD 200 - 300 billion in additional capital, and private investment capital may be the only source. Attracting that level of private capital will require attractive risk-adjusted rates of return, in addition to clear and measurable conservation impacts.
In this report, Credit Suisse—together with the McKinsey Center for Business and Environment—there is a toolkit for substantially growing the investment that flows into the conservation sector, illustrated by a few concrete ideas that we deem to be scalable, repeatable, and investable. Implementing these ideas will require strong collaboration between the financial and environmental communities to find new and creative ways of solving the financial structuring and conservation challenges at hand.

Activos inteligentes: Liberando el potencial de la economía circularItziar Ruiz Mendiola
En 2020 habrá entre 25 y 50 billones (con b) de aparatos electrónicos conectados. Hoy en día existen 10 billones. Este Internet de las Cosas (Internet of the Things, IoT) ofrece oportunidades por valor de un trillón de dólares, y provocará mejoras en la producción y los procesos de distribución, pero, lo que es más importante, provocará un cambio significativo en el modo en el que se utilizan los productos. La transformación digital tiene el poder para redefinir las bases mismas de la economía basada en el consumo de materiales. Frente a este modelo, surge otro donde la conectividad es una nueva infraestructura que puede dar lugar a la Era de la Economía Circular.
Así se refleja este informe elaborado por Ellen MacArthur Foundation en colaboración con World Economic Forum y que ha contado con la participación de más de 30 organizaciones, entre las que figura Innobasque. El trabajo pone el acento en cómo acelerar innovaciones impulsadas por el mercado y ayudar a escalar la economía circular. Se focaliza en explicar cuáles son los facilitadores de esta economía circular, como las tecnologías digitales, que son demasiado grandes o complejas para ser superadas por un solo negocio, ciudad, gobierno o individuo.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
