Resolute Marine Energy was selected as one of six finalists in the 2011 Cleantech Open Global Ideas competition. The Global Ideas competition is a hunt for the most promising clean technology ideas anywhere in the world and seeks to find and reward companies and management teams with “big ideas” for solving some of the most critical environmental and economic issues of our day. One national winner from each country was chosen to compete against the winners from other countries at the global finals in San Jose, California. This year, more than 1,000 applications were submitted from companies and entrepreneurs in over 50 countries around the world. Management teams from 23 countries were selected to travel and present at the Cleantech Open Global Forum and, of those, six were named finalists in the competition to win the $100,000 grand prize.. "We were very proud to be chosen to represent the United States and we were very impressed by the quality of the other contestants" said RME COO Olivier Ceberio. "Even though we didn’t win, being chosen as a top finalist in this extremely competitive international competition is a huge endorsement of our business vision and management team.”
