Cleantech Open is Coming to Portland

The Cleantech Open is the world’s largest accelerator, providing entrepreneurs and technologists the resources needed to launch successful cleantech companies. The Cleantech Open mission is to find, fund and foster entrepreneurs with big ideas that address today’s most urgent energy, environmental and economic challenges.

Since its inception in 2006, the Cleantech Open has awarded over $5 million in cash and services to support cleantech growth companies. The 581 participating companies in the Cleantech Open’s accelerator programs have raised more than $660 million in external capital.

The Cleantech Open Accelerator & Competition consists of a number of key activities; extensive mentoring, training, business clinics, access to investors and capital, numerous opportunities to showcase to the media and the public, and the competition itself. To begin, you need to register within your region.

On April 20, the Cleantech Open will be at Portland State University to review what's required, expected, and offered; when and where. There will also be a discussion on how others can get involved as a volunteer, mentor, judge or more.
