South Florida's Premier Early-stage Cleantech-focused Investment Group
Power Generations Inc. is committed to powering a greener generation through strategic partnerships and alliances with Entrepreneurs, Inventors, Investors, and Researchers. Our focus is on investing in the development of disruptive Cleantech companies with the potential for exponential growth, strong ROI, and proprietary technologies that have a positive impact on the earth’s environment, increase efficiency, reduce costs, create green jobs, improve sustainability and further US energy independence.
Cleantech encompasses an array of sectors including energy storage, efficiency, emissions control, equipment and materials innovation, enhanced agricultural practices, water production, green transportation, advanced materials development and more. Growth in Cleantech is driven by opportunity and necessity. Developments such as an increasing population and a changing climate increase the level of demand on natural resources and create a need for cleaner, leaner and more sustainable products and services. In 2012, venture capital firms invested an estimated $6.4 billion in Cleantech accounting for nearly twenty five percent of the $26 billion invested by VC’s .
We believe there is no better time to invest in clean technologies as companies are increasingly adopting innovative technologies to improve their bottom lines. Our continuously growing technical team identifies progressive companies with proprietary and disruptive technologies. The following represents specific areas within Cleantech our team is focused on.
