Letter from the publisher

Think of it as a new phase for the little trade pub you've come to know as Inside Greentech.

It was October of 2006—a lifetime ago in this biz—that we began publishing daily original reporting of industry developments worldwide, as well as investigative features, interviews, newsletters and staff blogs.

(We also introduced everyone's favorite superhero, the Greentech Avenger—who's still wondering whether he's gonna have to change his name or hit the road.)

Then, we brought you a series of popular web-based seminars, cleantech sector investment deal tracking and more.

You rewarded us by making us the most widely read publication focused on the sector.

New face. Same cheek.

Soon, as you may have already read, Inside Greentech will become the Cleantech Group. And that's a great thing, not just for the new resources and scale it gives us, but for you... and the industry at large.

Our collective portfolio of products and services will expand dramatically, courtesy of our new parent, the Cleantech Network, which publishes leading industry data and research, and runs the market’s leading Cleantech Forum global event series.

Adding our edgy yet insightful daily editorial coverage to the mix, the Cleantech Group will become the highest profile, go-to media platform for cleantech-related developments, while preserving the same editorial independence and flair you've come to expect.

What does this mean for YOU?

You can take advantage of this a number of ways.

If you're a reader, be assured that even more great content is on its way. And most will continue to remain freely accessible, as it is today on Inside Greentech.

If you're an existing sponsorship/advertising partner, take comfort in the fact your existing contract will be grandfathered forward. If you're already in a commercial relationship with us, rates will remain unchanged through the term of your contract. We thank you for your support to date!

If you're a potential marketing partner who's been on the fence about raising your profile among our industry influencer readers with one of our sponsorship options, move quickly. We’ll honor any contracts signed this week at existing rates before rates change next week.

Contact us to lock in today's pricing for the length of your contract.

Greentech vs. cleantech?

Finally, some might say this deal marks a clear resolution, even a vindication, of the ol' greentech vs. cleantech debate.

In choosing our original name, we at Inside Greentech acknowledge we took a gamble, but this process couldn't help but convince me, personally, that in picking the greentech moniker, we hitched our wagon to the wrong horse.

Glad we're with the clear right one, now.

Sincerely,

Dallas Kachan, Publisher & Acting Editor, Inside Greentech
Managing Director, Cleantech Media
