OnGreen partners with world’s largest conference HANNOVER MESSE Energy

News Release - March 31, 2011

OnGreen, the global marketplace for cleantech investment, announced today it has formalized a partnership with Hannover Fairs USA to collaborate on HANNOVER MESSE 2011, the world's leading showcase for industrial and power generation technology. Professionals from all corners of the world will convene in Hannover April 4th to April 8th for a total of thirteen leading trade fairs that make up HANNOVER MESSE 2011.

The event provides an opportunity for exhibiting companies to present intelligent solutions aimed at cutting costs, optimizing process efficiency and conserving resources at every stage of the production chain. As the hub for cleantech deals and professionals, OnGreen was selected to bring to the show companies which will demonstrate the most promising alternative technologies and innovations.

“HANNOVER MESSE provides a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary knowledge transfer,” said OnGreen CEO Nikhil R. Jain. “Companies exhibiting reflect the diverse sectors of renewable energy companies represented on our site today.”

The partnership with Hannover Fairs USA comes as OnGreen continues to build on its 2010 success. More than 300 entrepreneurs from 30+ countries have posted comprehensive funding requests on the site. In a September 2010 survey, more than half of the entrepreneurs reported inquiries from potential investors as a result of posting. In November, the company landed its Series A funding from a Chinese investment group. This year, in addition to the deal vetting system, OnGreen’s product road map includes more funding tools for start-ups.
