Competitions that Launch and Grow Cleantech Businesses

The Cleantech Open's reputation is built on its remarkably successful Business Competition, the largest of its kind anywhere in the world.  The results are amazing and the Cleantech Open Alumni continue to score scientific breakthroughs, funding, deployments and customers.

In 2009, we launched our first Ideas Competition, a global competition for bringing forth exciting new clean technologies and business ideas. It was a great success, with eight countries participating in the first year. Sign up your country for the 2010 competition here.

Two great ways to compete and win, all while solving our biggest energy, environmental and economic challenges.
