Greenbackers Investment Capital have revealed the names of 26 climate innovators who have been selected to participate in a 6 month program to help promising cleantech start-ups secure investment from international investors.

Greenbackers Managing Partner Robert Hokin said: “We’ve launched this program to harness the global focus on the COP26 Climate Summit being held here in Glasgow this November. There’s been a lot talk about target-setting lately, but to make Net Zero a reality by 2050, investment capital needs to flow faster into cleantech start-ups that can and will make a difference.
