Today we announce the top 10 finalists in the Nordic Cleantech Open competition. these are the result of narrowing down 111 applicants to only 10! This has been done through a very thorough process, involving the most competent jury possible and including the jury meeting the best candidates. We are very happy about the top 10 and we are convinced that these are the best bets for future cleantech success cases you can possibly find. The top 10 will present their cases at the Nordic Cleantech Open finals at Cleantech Capital Day in Malmö 19/5, this will be the largest cleantech event in northern Europe this year. The winner will be chosen with the help of audience votes at the finals.
