Clean Nordic Power Seeding A Brand In Silicon Valley
Nordic and Estonian cleantech companies showed off their latest innovations in smart grid, biofuels, renewable energy, green building and water management in Silicon Valley last week at Nordic Green II. The event, hosted by research institute SRI International in Menlo Park, attracted over 250 participants but only a fraction were startups.
Eagle Wind Power from Lahti was the only Finnish startup present. Eagle offers an innovative wind turbine technology for households, farms and small companies. Board member Timo Rapakko revealed that the company is negotiating a five million euro funding round in Finland, part of which will go into completing a manufacturing facility. Denmark and Germany are initial target markets.
