We’re one of the most innovative Cleantech Companies in Asia Pacific with the potential to deliver change.
Asia Pacific is home to some of the world’s most complex cleantech challenges and the innovators dedicated to solving them. We’re proud to have been made a 2020 #APAC25 company by Cleantech Group. It’s acknowledgement from the sustainability community of our commercial potential and our commitment to the solutions we all need.
The APAC 25 is a list of independent companies from the Asia Pacific region engaged in sustainable innovation that are viewed by the market as likely to have significant impact in a five-to-ten-year time frame.
Cleantech Group put together the third annual list of 25 companies through a combination of APAC-related inputs from the annual Global Cleantech 100 process and detailed contributions from an APAC 25 expert panel. The companies on the list had the strongest patterns of agreement across all the input points and were scored the highest.
“Today, land constraint, economic burden, and environmental risks associated with waste disposal have become a global crisis. ZA has been developing and promoting technologies to treat and transform wastes into safe and cost-effective resources.” Dr Sun Xiaolong, Managing Director, ZerowasteAsia
Members of the APAC 25 expert panel play an important role in creating the list. Each provides between three and nine nominations, no more than a third of which can be portfolio companies (in the case of investors). Expert panelists can weight their nominations, and all nominations are blind (no expert sees the other panelists’ nominations). These nominations are then combined with the outcomes from the Global Cleantech 100 process, which benefits from thousands of data points.
The third annual APAC 25 list is made possible by the continuing support of ADB Ventures and Enterprise Singapore .
“The Asia Pacific region will dominate some of the new industries and supply chains that will emerge from global mega-trends such as alternative proteins, electrification and new mobility, to name but three,” said Richard Youngman, CEO of Cleantech Group. “ It will also be a leader in digitalization, given its weight of population and the size of its industrial base. Both dynamics are borne out in our third annual APAC 25 list of rising star innovation companies from around the region.”
