Cleantech Scandinavia has just released the second edition of its ‘Nordic Cleantech Deal Flow’ yearly study.
Overall snapshot: Despite the outburst of the financial crisis, 2008 has been a year of very strong growth compared to 2007 for venture financing in the Nordics. The total number of deals (private and public) as well as monetary amount of those investments have respectively increased by 132% and 99%. If looking at the splits per cleantech segment, development stages and countries:
- The absolute majority of the funding went to energy related segments, and in particular to energy generation technologies;
- Almost half of the investments were made at the seed stage, about one third at commercialisation, and roughly 20% for expansion;
- Sweden leads the way both in number of deals and corresponding amounts.
The report presents statistical and graphic information about private investments and public funding in Nordic cleantech start-up and growth companies during 2008 and compared to 2007. Innovation companies from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden were reviewed to identify whether they had received some private and/or public funding. Activities of venture capital investors and public funders active in cleantech were also thoroughly monitored.
The publication is therefore the result of an extensive research effort to identify, aggregate and present this data in a clear and useful manner for investors and cleantech professionals. It also includes information about key new cleantech funds launched in 2008 as well as a presentation of international trends on the Nordic cleantech market.
