Building an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Driven Economy: How Policies Can Foster Risk Capital Investment in Renewable Energy
4 May 2011
In this webinar-based training, two expert panels—including government, industry, and financial experts from countries across several continents—explore how countries can use policies to build a clean energy economy by stimulating venture capital investments in new renewable energy companies. Panelists discuss policy experiences and approaches from their own countries; describe best practices from their operating viewpoints; and develop theories as how to best design future policies. The panelists converge on several themes highlighting 1) the importance of developing a portfolio of stable, long-term policy across the whole technology development and transfer value chain, which 2) allows a functioning network of entrepreneurs, investors, and supporting industries alike to feel comfortable to experiment and take risks in an already speculative marketplace.
