Proterra has announced it was named in the prestigious 2015 Global Cleantech 100, produced by Cleantech Group, whose mission is to connect organizations to sustainable innovation through its i3 Connect platform and global events.
The Global Cleantech 100 represents the most innovative and promising ideas in cleantech. Featuring companies that are best positioned to solve tomorrow’s clean technology challenges, Global Cleantech 100 is a comprehensive list of private companies with the highest potential to make the most significant market impact.
“We are honored to be named to the Global Cleantech 100 list,” said Ryan Popple, CEO of Proterra. “2015 marked a banner year for Proterra, as we expanded our facilities coast to coast, increased sales from 2014, broke four records at federal testing, and launched our flagship bus platform, the Catalyst. We look forward to scaling zero-emission transit across the nation in 2016.”
This year, a record number of nominations were received: 6,900 distinct companies from 60 countries. These companies were weighted and scored to create a short list of 323 companies. Short-listed nominees were reviewed by Cleantech Group’s Expert Panel, resulting in a finalized list of 100 companies from 17 countries.
“The Global Cleantech 100 provides us with insight into the collective opinion of key market players on which megatrends and innovation companies are most likely to have a significant impact in the next 5-10 years,” said Michele Parad, senior manager at Cleantech Group and lead author of the Global Cleantech 100 Report. “Now in its 7th year, the Global Cleantech 100 program reveals which themes are staying relevant and which sectors are taking center stage.”
