Clean tech ventures toward Cincinnati

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Cleantech investing is no longer a Silicon Valley exclusive, thanks to the Clean Wave Ventures’ fund. Rick Kieser of Cincinnati and partner Scott Prince of Indianapolis are raising $100 million and looking to invest it in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan based research and work.

The research and manufacturing in the Midwest can make a difference in the fight for improving our environment, and these investments can make a huge difference for these companies and individuals.

They plan to invest in green energy, transportation, and advanced materials; beginning with a wind turbine maker, a geothermal company, and a new electric motor that cuts air conditioning power needs by 30%.
