12Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA --Ask the CEO of any leading emerging private cleantech company what their ultimate end-goal is and you'll often get a similar response: "To IPO the business, of course."

These strategic buyers include traditional industrial companies and multi-industry conglomerates such as GE, Siemens and ABB.
