At Future Cleantech Architects, we believe that cleantech can only be effectively advanced through a holistic approach. Fundamental changes will only be achieved if decision-makers from different disciplines come together and address the challenges and requirements of innovative technological solutions. We see ourselves as facilitators of this exchange and strive to provide decision-makers with the necessary facts to make informed decisions. To achieve this, we address decision-makers from different angles. We urge policymakers to intensify and better prioritize their R&D activities. Moreover, we initiate and actively drive high-level research consortia on critical technologies for these neglected technological sectors.
