Top 10 Green Tech Software Solutions to Watch in 2023

While Green Tech software has been a hot subject, no pun intended, for a couple of decades, it’s recently surged to the forefront of tech innovation to solve issues without other viable solutions, boding well for the future of renewable, sustainable energy. 

Clean, sustainable energy, supported by CleanTech, also known as GreenTech, boomed in 2020 following the post-pandemic surge in oil prices and the war in Ukraine. In 2022, many emerging markets increased their reliance on clean energy, a trend set to continue. 

Governments and independent organizations are increasingly more supportive of GreenTech innovations that monitor industrial carbon emissions and other factors, prompting a boom of startups to develop GreenTech IT solutions that achieve sustainable modifications to business processes. 

The most significant trend in CleanTech is the integration of renewable energy solutions. Innovations in CleanTech/GreenTech enable the mass production of clean energy while minimizing energy wastage and expenses. 

Benefits of GreenTech, aka CleanTech

Innovations in the GreenTech field, also known as CleanTech, enable processes, products, and services with lower environmental impact than other previously established solutions are capable of providing. 

CleanTech Innovation Trends Moving Forward

Businesses in the GreenTech sector invest heavily in innovation, especially companies aspiring to pioneer the market. The following are the most popular trends we’ll see gaining traction as the clean, sustainable energy tech boom expands. 

• Low-Carbon Technologies
• Renewable Energy
• Electric Vehicles
• Energy Consumption Management
• Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)
• Green Materials

Factors to Consider When Scaling Up

It’s common for companies in the startup and growth stages to run into issues when scaling their teams up to meet demand. The most significant hurdle for companies in the GreenTech industry, or CleanTech, as well as most tech fields, is sourcing high-quality talent, getting them onboarded, and quickly integrated into your team. 

Startups and smaller-sized companies must compete with everyone else to source top talent. When you’re just starting as a company, hiring top talent can be incredibly difficult when huge companies with outrageous compensation packages are courting the software developers and other tech professionals you need.
