Cleantech Open is a non-profit organization that finds, funds and fosters small businesses that work to solve energy, environmental and economic challenges.
Now in its sixth year, Cleantech Open has a strong record of success, in terms of creating thousands of jobs and helping clean technology companies raise more than $300 million in external private capital for development and growth.
Solution categories for the 2011 program include: air, water & waste; energy efficiency; green building; renewable energy; smart power, green grid & energy storage; and transportation.
The primary catalyst for the Cleantech Open to advance its mission is the world’s largest and most successful cleantech business competition and networking program.
Participants in the program receive a unique blend of:
- Mentoring
- Business school-style training
- An opportunity to win a “startup in a box,” consisting of investment and services valued at $250,000
The organization’s vision is to build on its current success of creating new jobs and viable businesses to expand across the nation and the world. Through its entrepreneur training programs, the Cleantech Open executives have set a goal to create 100,000 new clean technology jobs by 2015 based on its U.S. efforts.
