The Centre uses its expertise and networks in the greenhouse, energy and technology development fields to function as an 'early bird' or first mover identifier of quality new technology development opportunities.

To attract these investment opportunities the Centre actively markets and profiles its presence, networks and expertise in the marketplace.

Depending on the nature of the investment and opportunity the Centre may invest its own funds, or provide professional 'dealflow' assistance to secure funds from other sources, or a combination of these two.

The Centre will also assist candidates whose applications are not "investment ready" to identify the areas where further work is required and may in certain circumstances assist in providing funding for external assistance.

In summary, the Centre:

- attracts high potential funding proposals from new energy technology proponents
- evaluates and 'packages' quality projects for delivery to the investment community
- co-invests or facilitates investment in projects
- actively manages investments, and
- provides information and support services

The Centre focuses exclusively on driving energy technology development towards commercialisation covering a wide spectrum of technologies, including but not limited to:

Renewable and fossil fuel energy generation
Transmission and distribution systems
Distributed energy and co-generation
Greenhouse gas reduction
Demand management
Energy efficient processes and products

The Centre has developed strong partnerships with the investment community including industry, state and federal funding bodies, pre-seed and seed venture capital funds and private equity providers to drive forward opportunities in sustainable energy and greenhouse gas reduction technology development.

Working relationships with the Centre can range from involvement in individual investments basis to close ongoing communications as part of our industry network.
