<span style="font-family: Arial; color: #666666;">The Clean Tech Open is a catalyst for clean tech innovation. A  non-profit organization founded in 2006, it provides today’s clean tech  innovators with the tools, training and connections they need to become  tomorrow’s viable clean tech businesses. The core of the Clean Tech Open is an  annual regional business competition, supported by expert volunteers and  mentors, that provides entrepreneurs with the crucial business training,  services and insights they need to successfully go to market. The Clean Tech  Open has assisted dozens of companies in raising nearly $140M in funding, and  spurred the creation of hundreds of jobs in California. Fueled by a network of  over 400 volunteers and sponsors, the Clean Tech Open unites the public and  private sectors in a shared vision for making America’s clean tech sector a  thriving economic engine. Past alumni successes include Adura Technologies, Cool  Earth Solar and GreenVolts. </span></span></p>
