Michael Liebreich, Chief Executive of Bloomberg New Energy Finance, said: "Tough times make for good entrepreneurs, and this is definitely what we are seeing in this year's New Energy Pioneers. Once again we need to thank the judges, who had to winnow down a strong field to just ten winners. We wish them all luck in the coming years."

The awards program, now in its fourth year, selects ten New Energy Pioneers each year. This year the independent panel of industry experts selected the winners from more than 200 candidates from around the world, assessing them against three criteria: innovation, demonstrated momentum and potential global scale.
