BLUGLASS RANKED AS TOP 30 SEMI-FINALIST IN GLOBAL CLEANTECH CLUSTER ASSOCIATION 2014 LATER STAGE AWARDS

Australian cleantech innovator, BluGlass Limited (ASX:BLG) is proud to announce its inclusion in the Global Top 30 semi-finalists announced for the Global Cleantech Cluster Association (GCCA) 2014 Later Stage Awards . The prestigious Top 30 consists of mid-to-late stage companies that originate from a variety of cleantech industries and have a proven track record in their home market, with the goal to expand internationally.

Using the Keystone Compact Method, each company was evaluated based on their position for value capture in their industry, and investment grade. The Global Top 10 winners and one Grand Prize winner will be determined by a panel of international investors and announced at the 5[th] annual CleanTech Investing Seminar in Lausanne, Switzerland on December 3, 2014. The full list of 2014 Later Stage Award Nominations can be found at: http://www.globalcleantech.org/awards/2014-awards/

“The 2014 Global Top 30 companies exhibit market strength, breakthrough innovation, and a competitive position for growth” said Dr. Peter Adriaens, Head Judge of the GCCA Later Stage Awards, developer of the Keystone Compact™ and associated scoring method, and CEO of the KeyStone Compact Group Ltd, a global strategy and investment-level business analytics company. “Determining the nominations from over 100 to 30 follows a competitive and robust analytic process, the Top 30 represents some of the world’s most esteemed cleantech companies based on potential investability in their various cleantech industry sectors” Dr. Adrianes added.

BluGlass is an Australian clean technology company that is developing and commercialising a breakthrough semiconductor technology called remote plasma chemical vapour deposition (RPCVD), for the production of high efficiency devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), power electronics and concentrated solar cells. RPCVD’s lower temperature has several potential advantages over current manufacturing techniques promising higher performing devices and a cleaner, lower cost method of manufacture. BluGlass has been listed as one of three global companies in the category of Lighting and Energy Efficiency.

BluGlass CEO Giles Bourne said today “We are absolutely delighted to have been ranked in the Top 30 Global

Efficiency company for the 2014 GCCA Later Stage awards.” BluGlass was nominated following its win of the 2013 Australian Technologies Competition (formerly the Australian Cleantech Competition).

“We look forward to expanding our network into the GCCA investor community and participating in the next phase of these international awards”. Mr. Bourne added.

The Top 30 semi-finalists will now be evaluated by an extensive list of venture capital and cleantech judges who ultimately select the winners for the Later Stage Award. With more than $3.5 billion invested in clean technology, the GCCA judges include SJF Ventures, Blue Hill Partners, Spring Capital, Sofinnova Partners and many more.

The GCCA Later Stage Awards ceremony will be held on December 3, 2014 at the CleanTech Investing Seminar in Lausanne, Switzerland. This event brings together the very best game-changing technologies and entrepreneurs with a wide range of cleantech investors, corporate investors and family offices. The GCCA portions of the agenda are organised by GCCA Chairman Christian Hauselmann, and co-founder of swisscleantech.

About BluGlass:

BluGlass Limited (winner of the 2013 Australian Technologies Competition) is an Australian green technology company formed to commercialise a breakthrough in the Semiconductor Industry.

BluGlass has invented a new process using Remote Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (RPCVD) to grow semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN), crucial to the production of high efficiency devices such as next generation lighting technology Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with advanced performance and low cost potential.

The RPCVD technology, because of its low temperature and highly flexible nature, offers many potential benefits over existing technologies including higher efficiency, lower cost, substrate flexibility including GaN on silicon and greater scalability.
