Title
Press Release: Global venture capital and private equity investment in Clean Technology and Renewable Energy bounces back
Description
Global venture capital and private equity investment in Clean Technology and Renewable Energy bounced back significantly during 1Q10 with a 43% increase over 4Q09. The headline figure of $5.0 billion, comprising $2.1 billion of VC and $2.4 billion of PE investment, is moving back towards the level last seen in 4Q08 of $4.9 billion. Green transportation was once again a major recipient of VC / PE funding this quarter with Better Place raising a £350 million Series B for its electric car charging network and Fisker Automotive, the premium electric sports car company raising a $140 million Series E. Overall this reflected greater confidence in this asset class as the public markets continue to open up and M&A deal volumes increase despite a faintly improving economy.
