Phillip Müller, Head of Cleantech, Swiss Federal Office of Energy, has said that India is a market with policy, price and scale challenges, but also with tremendous potential.
“Our hope from platforms such as Cleantech Week is to engage with corporate, manufacturing, policy and government institutions to connect the dots of innovation, business potential and talent,” he said.
Swissnex India, the Swiss global network to promote education, research and innovation collaboration, marked the Pune chapter of Cleantech Week India recently. The Cleantech Week platform brought a group of 15 researchers and entrepreneurs from the clean energy sector of Switzerland to India.

This included targeted, domain-specific site visits to clean energy stakeholders such as Tata Green Batteries, E-mobility Group at the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and the Pune Railway Station Rooftop Solar Project.
CEO of swissnex India and Consul General of Switzerland, Sebastien Hug, said in a statement, “India’s traction and growth in the energy market makes it ripe for innovation and technology disruption. It is our mission to enable the outreach and active engagement and international exchange of knowledge and talent”
