e5 in cooperation with the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), the International Centre for Resource and Energy Efficiency (SAT-iCREE) and the newthinking communications GmbH expedites since 2008 the build-up of a Clean Tech database by employing the Open Source model.
Furthermore, e5 interlinks Clean Tech companies, research institutes, actors from the Open Source movement, legal experts and development organisations by providing opportunities for exchange of ideas and by hosting events in order to harness collaborative models of creativity.
