Recognized for Creating New Opportunities in Green Technology
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Daintree Networks, Inc., the leading provider of wireless lighting control solutions for intelligent buildings today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the GoingGreen Global 200 winners. Inclusion in the GoingGreen Global 200 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players. Daintree Networks was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
Daintree Networks and the GoingGreen Global 200 companies will be honored at AlwaysOn’s GoingGreen Silicon Valley event on September 27, 2011, at San Francisco City Hall in San Francisco, CA.
This two-and-a-half-day executive event features CEO presentations and high-level debates on the most promising emerging green technologies and new entrepreneurial opportunities.
“Picking this year’s GoingGreen Global 200 was a very competitive process, as literally dozens of great greentech companies are emerging out of the pack, raising big money, and gaining significant market traction,” said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “This year’s winners clearly represent some of the highest-growth opportunities we’ve seen in the private company marketplace and underscore that many of the greentech sectors VCs have been betting on are booming.”
The GoingGreen Global 200 winners were selected from among thousands of domestic and international green technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and greentech industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2011 list.
Daintree Networks was named to the list of Global 200 winners for the company’s innovative approach to energy-saving building controls. With the industry’s first standards-based, wireless platform for lighting, Daintree makes saving energy in commercial buildings simpler, lower-cost and more intelligent. The company’s innovative solution, ControlScope, uses powerful software and wireless networking to automatically control lighting and other energy loads, saving up to 70 percent of an enterprise’s lighting energy costs while providing facilities with comprehensive energy management and smart grid tools.
