Bay State cleantech companies brought in $356 million in 27 VC deals last year, a 21 percent dollar-value increase over 2008, according to a report released last week by research firm The Cleantech Group LLC and business advisory firm Deloitte LLP. In North America, investment value fell to $3.5 billion — 42 percent less than 2008 and 17 percent less than 2007 — and globally VC cleantech investment fell 34 percent to $5.6 billion.

However, today the industry has expanded significantly onto Interstate 495 as well, the next beltway out. 1 In local culture, Route 128 is seen as something of a dividing line between the inner municipalities of Greater Boston and the more far-flung suburbs.

Much of the area within Route 128 was developed before World War II, while the area outside it was developed more recently. The south end ...

Sure, the electric grid and most buildings could some day become “smart,” with new technologies that monitor energy use helping to drive down use and costs. But no one can claim to have the smarts to know exactly how we’re going to get there. If you ask the team at Boston-based Ember Corp. , a maker of the chips that are behind many of the early innovations in smart grid technologies, they’ll describe the current landscape this way: it’s a lot like the “wild wild west” days of the early Internet, a time of tremendous uncertainty about what path the technology would take. When it comes to ...
