Lowell, Mass. – June 6, 2007 – Konarka Technologies, Inc., an innovator in development and commercialization of Power Plastic™, a material that converts light to energy, today announced the company has been named to the “Ten to Watch” list of companies in The Clean Tech Revolution, a newly released book where authors Ron Pernick and Clint Wilder identify ten companies in each of eight clean-technology industry sectors that bear watching for growth and industry influence in the near to mid-term. Konarka has been included in the “Ten to Watch” list for the chapter titled “Mobile Technologies: Powering a World on the Go.”

“Our ‘Ten to Watch’ lists at the end of each chapter highlight companies that are playing a significant role in the growth and innovation of the clean-tech industry,” said Ron Pernick, co-author of The Clean Tech Revolution and co-founder of Clean Edge, one of the industry’s premier research and publishing firms. “We looked at dozens of firms in each sector in the course of researching the book,” added Clint Wilder, co-author of The Clean Tech Revolution and contributing editor of Clean Edge. “We chose ten companies, whether public or private, that are poised to make an impact.”

“Konarka is honored to be named as a company to watch in the fast-growing business of clean-tech,” said Howard Berke, chairman and CEO at Konarka. “We strongly believe in the business and growth opportunities of this exciting industry sector, and we are proud to be recognized in this significant book that spotlights and analyzes the business potential of clean-tech.”

In The Clean Tech Revolution: The Next Big Growth and Investment Opportunity, the authors identify the major forces that have pushed clean-tech from back-to-the-earth utopian dream to its current revolution among the inner circles of corporate boardrooms, on Wall Street trading floors and in government offices around the globe. The Clean Tech Revolution looks at developments from Shanghai, China to Hyderabad, India to Silicon Valley, highlighting breakthrough opportunities, potential roadblocks and pitfalls, and pioneering individuals, companies, and regions. The book highlights the eight major clean-tech sectors that offer the best near- to mid-term opportunity: solar energy, wind power, biofuels and biomaterials, green buildings, personal transportation, the smart grid, mobile applications, and water filtration. Pernick and Wilder based the book on extensive research from their work at Clean Edge and from interviews and conversations with more than a hundred clean-tech innovators.
