ReVolt battery firm makes top European cleantech list

Switzerland’s ReVolt Technology has made the Cleantech Summit 2009’s top 24 list of leading European startups and early-stage cleantech companies.

ReVolt, which has developed a rechargeable zinc-air battery, was selected as one of the winners from a pool of more than 300 applicants. The top firms were recognised during the Cleantech Summit in Geneva last week.

“This summit is about what our society needs to address the climate change issue: collaboration,” said Bernard Vogel, president of Cleantech Summit 2009. “We are facilitating the collaboration between entrepreneurs and investors, start-ups and established companies, energy generators and energy users; and between business and politics.”

ReVolt’s rechargeable battery technology provides a high-energy storage system for consumer and industrial market applications that is environmentally safe, reusable and recyclable.
