Summary: While solar still claimed plenty of funds, the focus shifted during the third quarter.

I spent some time this weekend synching up the latest cleantech venture capital report from Cleantech Group with a panel about the same topic — the future of cleantech funding — that I attended at the inaugural SXSW Eco conference on environmental and sustainability issues.

The third quarter data from Cleantech Group, showing that there was  approximately $2.23 billion dedicated to 189 deals in the quarter served as an objective validation of the panel’s subjective focus on two main themes: energy storage technology and energy efficiency.

 October 5, 2010

Investors doled out $2.23 billion for 189 green tech venture deals worldwide in the third quarter and counted energy storage, solar and energy efficiency as their top three picks, according to preliminary data from the Cleantech Group on Wednesday.

The third-quarter investment dollars shot up 12 percent from the previous quarter’s $1.98 billion and 23 percent from the third quarter of 2010, when investments reached $1.81 billion. The bump is a reversal from the second quarter of this year, when venture investments slid 10 percent from the first quarter and 28 percent from the second quarter of 2010.

It was a golden moment for Steve Jobs – and Sacramento's high-tech industry.

On Oct. 14, 1998, Jobs announced that Apple – once left for dead by tech industry pundits – had roared back to profitability largely on the strength of the candy-colored iMac computers assembled at Apple Elk Grove.

"It was a year of thinking different," Jobs boasted, borrowing from the company's marketing motto at the time.

Now everything is different. Citing health reasons, Jobs has stepped down as Apple's chief executive. And the technology sector in greater Sacramento – which used to tout itself as "Silicon Valley East" – is in considerable flux.
