NREL

http://cleanenergyforum.com
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory is pleased to invite domestic and international companies to apply to the upcoming 22nd NREL Industry Growth Forum in Denver, Colorado. Join the ranks of sustainable energy companies who have gleaned focused expertise and windfall funding from within the catalytic atmosphere of the Forum. This unique environment is possible because NREL is the nation's primary research and development facility for renewable energy and energy efficiency and thus has tight associations with DOE and other government funding enablers. As the longest running clean energy-focused venture forum in the world, the NREL Industry Growth Forum has developed a wealth of connections across many levels of private sector financing. Application to the Forum will allow you to showcase your company to an audience of the world?s leading energy investors, industry executives, and potential partners.

The Clean Energy Cluster is not just about competing in ICE or volunteering to help us run the Competition. The Cluster is made up of everyone who contributes ideas, money, products, or services into the industry or is a customer for any of those items. Our goal at the Energy Special Interest Group is to help build that Cluster, and that means providing resources and opportunities for learning, networking and winning after the ICE Finals are over for the year and for all people and organizations in the Cluster. This section of the website is dedicated to the community as a whole and we ask for your feedback to help us serve you.
