EcoSmart Earns Highest Honor at Investment Conference

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — EcoSmart Technologies was selected as the most promising investment opportunity by attendees at October’s Cleantech Venture Forum VIII in Washington, D.C.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed the conference, which brings together venture investors and venture-grade, emerging clean technology investment opportunities. “We’re honored to have been selected as the most promising investment opportunity by this forum,” said Steve Bessette, EcoSmart President. “The event is respected by the financial community and attended by participants in sustainable industries, government and financial sectors. We are proud to have been a part of this rigorous program, and we look forward to maximizing the value of EcoSmart ’s botanical pesticides in the global pesticide market,” he added.

EcoSmart’s patented formulations are derived from plant oils that harness nature’s own defenses against insects and other pests. Its complete line of interior and exterior formulations is effective against a broad spectrum of insect pests and provides both quick knockdown/kill and residual control.

“We believe that the market has unmet needs,” said Bessette. “EcoSmart is the company that can provide the cost-effective, patented products to help everyone from pest management professionals to farmers fight pest and weed problems organically.”

Worldwide, the Cleantech Venture Network serves over 900 affiliate investor member firms and currently holds two forums in North America each year. More than $4.5 billion has been invested in “cleantech” ventures since 2002, $370 million of which has been raised by presenting companies at Cleantech Venture Forums.
