Our work

New Energy Nexus China aims to work with local partners to catalyze entrepreneurship in clean energy by providing business, technology, and financial support to new ideas and enterprises.

China’s government has set ambitious carbon neutrality targets which requires global solutions to be deployed in the market. We’ve adopted a “China In, China Out” strategy, where global startups can enter the Chinese market and where Chinese startups can go abroad.

China Cleantech 生态创新 is a podcast that features Chinese-related innovations, experts and entrepreneurs in the country’s clean tech industry.

China is now the leading producer of solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles and the Chinese cleantech ecosystem is a market the world can’t afford to ignore.
