During the week of May 3, 2009, Israel’s two biggest cleantech stories were about a BusinessWeek feature, which provided an overview of the sector and the attention it is drawing from the international investment community, and ZenithSolar’s technology, which Shimon Peres stated can [indirectly] “help fight terror.”
Other stories included B-Solar raising $3 million, Leviathan Energy introducing a new device to “boost wind power by up to 30%,” and Agri Projects new water conservation project to help communities in India. For more on these stories and the rest of this week’s ten headlines, check below.
