Have a brilliant cleantech idea? We'd like to hear it!

The Cleantech Open runs the world's largest clean technology business competition and we're looking for the best clean technology ideas from around the world.

Just for telling us your idea, you could win a prize package of services worth $100,000 to help you start a business to grow your idea!

  1. Tell us which country you are from.
  2. Answer the five questions we ask that help you build your "success paragraph."
  3. If your idea beats out the competition in your National Competition, you get to represent your country as a Global Ideas finalist at the annual Cleantech Open Awards Gala on November 17, 2010 in San Francisco.

There, your idea will be presented in a five-minute pitch in front of a crowd of 2,500 investors, entrepreneurs, sponsoring companies, corporations, members of academia, press, and others interested in hearing your ideas and getting involved.

The crowd will vote via text message for the "People's Choice" and you could win $100,000 in marketing support, legal advising, conferencing services and more to help launch your business!

The competition opens in March 2010. Sign up to receive our newsletter to get updates.
