Burges Salmon – Cleantech Podcast

Established Bristol legal firm Burges Salmon called us to help with one of their Corporate Finance Network events early in October – The Cleantech Question Time.

In the context of rising fuel costs and an increasing worldwide drive for greener solutions, Cleantech is seen by many as a growth sector where investors have a real opportunity for returns. During the event presentations were to be given by Chris Matthews, Senior Business Development Manager, Renewable Energy Team at the Co-op Bank and comment from our expert panel: James Thomas of ICON Corporate Finance, Andrew Page of Foresight Group, Mark Crosier, CEO of DeepStream Technologies, Phil Nicholas, CEO of Inetec and Peter Horsburgh of the Environmental Technologies Fund.

A panel discussion followed on a wide range of issues raised during the event including: what is meant by ‘cleantech’, the debate over the energy gap, the impact of the credit crunch for cleantech companies seeking funding and their expectations for 2009 and beyond.

Burges Salmon wanted to extend the value seminar by providing podcasts of  the presentation and discussions which could then be listened to online or downloaded on to ipod and mp3 players.

Applause recorded the presentations, audience questions and panel responses.  The resulting audio files were cleaned and edited the following day and encoded to windows media player and ipod compatible files and delivered via a web hosted facility. Burges Salmon’s IT people then linked to the files on BS website.
