"This landmark report clearly shows that China is a promising marketplace for clean technologies," stated Keith Raab, CEO and co-founder, Cleantech Group. "Trends emerging in 2007 point to more cleantech companies going public with at least four IPOs anticipated by Chinese companies in the solar segment alone."
