Flemish finalists for cleantech awards

Three Flemish companies are among 30 worldwide to go through to the finals of the Later Stage Award 2012 organised by the Cleantech Cluster Association. The finalists were chosen from a field of 4,000 applicants. The awards are given in 10 cleantech categories: bio-energy, energy storage, lighting/energy efficiency, solar energy, smart grid/sustainable IT, tidal/ hydropower, transportation, waste management, water treatment and wind energy.

Winners will be announced in November at an international cleantech conference in the United States. The three Flemish companies are:
Waterleau – based in Herent near Leuven and dealing in water, air and waste treatment and energy recovery. The company won this year’s Export Lion award from Flanders Investment & Trade.
Ducatt – based in Lommel, Limburg province, making ultra-thin toughened glass for solar power applications.
Emrol – based in Malle, East Flanders, specialising in batteries, chargers and accessories.
