Abstract
In this era, due to the rising energy crisis the need for establishment of energy plants to tackle this phenomenon is increasing. Renewable energy systems have the advantage of low carbon footprint among other energy production sources, so by integrating the emerging technologies we can step into sustainable development of solving a wide range of problems attracts. In this research, management strategies of such emerging technological innovation for the development of the renewable energy industry are explored in an extended literature analysis. New energy storage facilities and novel systems used to reduce the emissions to zero will need funding from both independent and allied specialized corporate venture capitalist So, the balance between the cost and outcome of these novel systems should be made. Also, there are increasing factors that animate the increase and growth of these novel industries like the cost of externality of fossil fuels , climate change threats among other emerging worrisome trends in the global quest for energy sustainability , beside of the fact that these cleantech ventures still experience significant difficulties because of VCs’ risk profile, preferred exit types, venture capital framing, and familiarity with investment domain inter alia. Such problems can be solved by a different risk-taking process in managing and quantifying constant technological advancements together with a shift in the definition of success terms.
