Smart Green Business Network and Conference

Ecosummit is the Smart Green Business Network for cleantech startups, investors and corporates. We are a startup at the intersection of cleantech, Internet, marketing and event. Our mission is to accelerate smart green innovation from company foundation to mass market. Only successful smart green startups have positive impact on climate change and global resource problems. The goal of Ecosummit and our members is the fast transformation of our global economy to the Smart Green Economy powered by 100% renewable energy.

Our 6th conference Ecosummit London 2013 takes place on 15-16 October 2013 at the Crystal. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in speaking, sponsoring or just participating. The motto of ECO13 London is Smart Green City. The Ecosummit Sponsor Presentation (PDF) provides details about our strategy and sponsorship packages.

The Ecosummit team cooperates with a fantastic group of advisors, sponsors, speakers, partners, ambassadors and participants with whom we share the same mindset.

Ecosummit TV: Ecosummit in London

This is a short video recorded at our second Ecosummit Lounge London on 2 May 2013 at Taylor Wessing. It features very nice pictures of the city, another red bus going green for London and a preview of ECO13 Berlin, our 5th cleantech conference for startups, VCs and corporates. We also talk about the launch of Ecosummit Market, our new online platform for startups. Ecosummit Market is integrated with Ecosummit Award. The video ends with a short story told by Rob Wylie of WHEB Partners about their recent exit of Friedola, a German late stage startup they sold to Kleiner Perkins and Silver Lake doubling their money in 2 years. Come and join us at Ecosummit London 2013 on 15-16 October.

Smart Green Innovation – Jan Michael Hess opens ECO12 Berlin

Ecosummit Founder Jan Michael Hess opens Ecosummit Berlin 2012 on 22 March at Radialsystem. The sun is shining and many smart green people are in the house, visibly motivated to share ideas and grow their network. Our third Smart Green Business Conference is climate neutral thanks to the carbon offset powered by ClimatePartner. According to Bart Markus of Wellington Partners, cleantech includes many big markets such as wind, solar, water or efficiency. Big markets attract lots of VC money and absorb experiments and execution mistakes. According to Prof. Karl Leo, Europe is good at basic research – this is our culture – but bad at application and bringing new ideas fast to global markets.

Ecosummit Sponsor Opportunities

Since 2010, we organised 4 successful conferences and established Ecosummit as an international business network connecting and accelerating smart green startups, investors and corporates. Ecosummit Berlin 2013 happens on 4-5 June 2013 at the magic Radialsystem.

We look for new sponsors to support us in 2013 and beyond. The Ecosummit Pitch for Sponsors (PDF Presentation) provides details about our strategy and the available sponsorship packages. We are very grateful for the support and productive cooperation of our past and present sponsors.

Going Green is Smart

Going green is smart. Smart stands for the ubiquitous use of information and communication technology (ICT). Green means bringing cleantech to the mass market and making sustainability the default strategy of every company in every industry. Being smart and green at the same time enables intelligent sustainability management, i.e. automated sustainability.
