Are international start-ups allowed to join the cleanConnect program?

CTSI welcomes international clean technology companies to apply to the program. Note: The Washington D.C. policy tour is only available to companies with established U.S. operations that are more than sales-only offices.

What if we are a clean technology company, but not related to energy?

Please contact us with a description of your company so that we can evaluate your company’s fit with the cleanConnect program. If not accepted for membership, we will offer a significantly reduced fee for a Technology Provider membership.

What if my company is a business services company, such as consulting, legal, accounting, marketing, recruiting, etc?

We appreciate your interest in the cleanConnect program. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a Sponsor member. Your support will help us grow the visiblity and services that we provide our growing clean technology companies. However, one basic requirement of cleanConnect is that the applicant develop a clean technology, so services companies do not fit with this particular membership type.

How is membership qualification determined?

The CTSI Advisory Board will review all membership applications to the cleanConnect program and to the larger CTSI community each month. CTSI reserves the right to deny applications that do not meet program or association criteria.
