Are you a cleantech entrepreneur? Do you need help catapulting your startup or ideas to the next level? Join us for lunch on April 7th to hear how the Cleantech Open Pacific Northwest (PNW) can help.

Join us for a reception on April 7 at the Ecotrust Building's Billy Frank Jr Conference Center. 
Come enjoy local food and drink, including hard cider from our friends at Swift Cider.

Representatives of other key partner programs that support entrepreneurs will be there to present how the Cleantech Open is part of a larger ecosystem you can tap into by participating - helping you identify incubators, accelerators, prototyping, exporting, and ways to leverage government contracts. 

You'll have the opportunity to meet alumni teams and learn how they leveraged the Cleantech Open for improving their businesses' performance. We’ll also detail what to expect from the program to help you decide if it’s right for you.
