In advance of the 2010 AlwaysOn GoingGreen East Conference, KPMG surveyed leaders in the cleantech and venture capital communities on some of the critical issues facing the greentech sector and the environment. We are very pleased that more than 200 respondents provided their opinions.

In 2009, 53 percent of respondents indicated that they expect venture capital activity in the greentech sector to continue rising. That number has jumped to 77 percent in this spring's survey. Two-thirds of respondents expect an increase in overall venture investment in 2010.
