Venue: Mandai Cleantech Park, Singapore
Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid growth in the demand for energy and energy services to fuel its economic development. As a result, the greater use of energy and higher energy efficiency are becoming increasingly critical issues for the whole region. Governments in Asia Pacific are strengthening their policies to promote renewable energy sources and usage, thus creating enormous opportunities for industry players.
Our objective

Singapore is Not Ready for Renewable Energy

Singapore is not ready for renewable energy. This is the conclusion that we arrived at from the recent roundtable on “Is Singapore Ready for Renewable Energy?” organised by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.
We agree with one of the speakers, Mr Stefan Mueller, Asia-Pacific Managing Director of Conergy Renewable Energy Singapore, who said that the two issues of jobs and research, and adoption of renewable energy should be looked at separately.
Singapore has been putting in much effort in attracting renewable energy companies to set up their operations in Singapore and create jobs, and encouraging research and development in renewable energy technologies. There have been several initiatives and funding to support the renewable energy industry ever since the government decided to focus on clean tech two years ago. Read more

The Clean Tech Revolution: The Next Big Growth and Investment Opportunity by Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder is an excellent book for all individuals and investors who are interested in clean technologies and the opportunities involved. The authors highlight eight major clean technologies (shown below) and discuss each technology sector’s growth, challenges, opportunities and companies.
- Solar Energy
- Wind Power
- Biofuels and Biomaterials
- Green Buildings
- Personal Transportation
- Smart Grid
- Mobile Technologies
- Water Filtration
For cities or regions that wish to create a clean tech industry and future, the authors explain that they must have access to capital, R&D support, workforce talent, supportive policies, and vision in order to succeed. In addition, the successful marketing of clean tech by companies should take note of the following five lessons:
- It’s all about cost
- Don’t lead with the environment
- Framing and naming are critical
- It has to be easy, accessible, and convenient
- Remember the cool factor
