The Cleantech Open is a not-for-profit organization that runs the world&rsquo;s largest accelerator for cleantech startups. Our mission is to find, fund and foster entrepreneurs with big ideas that address today&rsquo;s most urgent energy, environmental and economic challenges. <br /><br />A network of more than 2,000 volunteers powers this process: remarkable professionals who lend their time and expertise to entrepreneurs, facilitating the growth of the cleantech industry and the positive impact that will come from such technologies.<br /><br />With eight active regions across US our ultimate goal is to have these connections be truly global where a startup based in Minneapolis can receive mentoring from an expert in Denver &ndash; or Paris, license its technology to a strategic partner in Texas &ndash; or Delhi, and receive capital from Boston, Sand Hill Road, or a corporate investor anywhere in the world. The Cleantech Open provides the platform for that kind of interaction and visibility.
