The greentech industry encourages our focus on technology development and product innovation

The Top 200 list recognizes companies that are pioneers in developing the technologies of tomorrow.  2012 winners are pushing outside the confines of existing markets and mapping the path toward global sustainability. Companies were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value and media buzz. The winning companies will be honored at the annual LED high bay light Venture Summit at the Golden Gate Club in San Francisco on November 27th and 28th.

“We are honored to once again be included in the GoingGreen Global 200 list. This validates our passion and commitment to driving market adoption of energy efficient solid state lighting,” said Bill Watkins, Bridgelux chief executive officer. “Recognition from influencers and experts in the greentech industry encourages our focus on technology development and product innovation.”

“This year’s GoingGoing Global 200 displays a maturity in the green technology industry that makes it very attractive to both investors and innovators,” says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. “This year’s GoingGreen Global 200 winners are pushing the bounds of how technology can bring about change in the war on our planet’s waning resources. The strength of these companies lies in their ability to nurture innovative ideas and seen them through to successful, sustainable, and profitable businesses.”

Indoor lighting plays a critical role in all retail environments, particularly home furnishings stores where varying woods, fabrics and finishes must be properly illuminated over open, expansive spaces. And with often thousands of fixtures under one roof, lighting costs—from electricity to replacement lamps—can quickly add up.

Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China

This emerging potential for green LED applications follows on the heels of an announcement of applications for blue LEDs on April 25, 2012. NGK is now poised to apply its technology to the inverters used in hybrid and electric vehicles, power amplifiers for base stations of wireless communication, and other power devices. To this end, NGK will take steps to further reduce defect density for its GaN wafers, and to produce larger wafers that are greater than 6 inches in diameter. Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China and enlarge its market share there, it has been foiled by simmering anti-Japan sentiment in China due mainly to the Diaoyutai island issue, so is considering to cooperate with Taiwanese enterprises for further development.

According to senior Nichia executives and based on positive outlook towards widespread use of LED lighting, the firm focused on the amp...
