Seeing how this is the inaugural post for what I’m sure will turn out to be a very long-lived and exciting blog, I thought it’d be best to get right down to business. In this case, I’d like to share a really interesting article I read recently:

Connecticut Rolls Out New Cleantech Fund – GigaOM

There doesn’t seem to be a lack of startups keen to ride the coming wave of cleantech adoption. Any ideas on which company would be a good candidate to speak at our InCubed talk series would be welcome. Methinks Oxford Performance Materials is the most promising by industry conditions. It straddles cleantech and the biomedical industry, which in our age of environmental degradation and increasing healthcare costs, makes its work twice as attractive.

On a separate note, its almost too ridiculous to ponder, but could falling oil prices have something to do with stifling the growth of cleantech?
Royal Dutch Shell and the Industrial Wind Action Group think so. I’d rate it about as likely as UFOs kidnapping Fox Mulder.
