CLEANTECH OPEN EVENT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Join us for one of the premier innovation events in the US as we bring together the top cleantech entrepreneurs to celebrate our shared vision of doing well while doing good. Since 2006, the Cleantech Open, a 501(c)(3) non-profit and the world’s largest cleantech accelerator, has been working to find, fund, and foster the most promising cleantech startups on the planet. To date 40% of our 727 US alumni companies across the country have raised over $800 million in external funding and have created thousands of jobs. Drive the difference as a sponsor and become a key partner in the Cleantech Open community. Strengthen and enhance your brand through valuable marketing exposure to an audience with a shared commitment of fostering entrepreneurship, driving sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Network and build relationships with the dynamic ecosystem which makes it all happen — cleantech entrepreneurs, alumni companies, business leaders, mentors, judges, investors, sponsors, and strategic partners. Explore innovation showcasing of technologies and products from current year accelerator companies, our alumni companies, partners, and sponsors. Observe live company pitches and demonstrations by the cleantech entrepreneurs competing in this year’s Cleantech Open. Sponsor a Regional Judging and Awards event and be part of the selection of regional finalists who will each receive $20,000 in cash and services, and then advance to compete in Silicon Valley in November for the National Grand Prize of a “startup-in-a-box” valued at $200,000 in seed investment and services. Sponsor the Cleantech Open National Conference in Spring and build relationships with business leaders, government officials and our alumni. Or sponsor the Global Forum in November to connect with innovative entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders and strategic partners from around the globe.
