We hope you'll join us on October 18 at 2 PM ET.
Members of CTSI, as well as prospective members, are invited to our exclusive October Business Round Table webinar. This month, we'll cover "Federal Funding for Clean Tech Start-Ups" with Kelly Carnes from TechVision21 on October 18 at 2 PM ET.
E-mail Laura to receive more information about membership and how to get involved with events like these, or check out the member section of our website. Each month, CTSI hosts a similar event, rotating between varying topics related to marketing, finance and clean tech policy. If you want to try out a round table before commiting to membership, Laura will grant you a one-time waiver.
Learn more about federal government policies and programs that are available to clean tech start-ups that range from loan guarantees to tax credits and grants.
The government is investing in a wide range of green tech: everything from hydrogen fuel cells and biorefineries to electricity generated from wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal.
In addition to programs that reward green sources of electricity generation, there are resources available to support projects that avoid, reduce, or sequester air pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions.
Learn what resources might be available to jumpstart your green business.
