During the week of August 17, 2008, news on cleantech and IT investments continued to lag as VCs and other investors try to stay afloat in the current economic climate by conserving their funds. IBM and Microsoft were back in the news for their investments in Israel earlier this year while Israeli companies turned out to be the biggest winners from Israel in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The coolest news this past week was Intel’s new technology that will allow devices to be charged wirelessly through the air.
