The Colorado Center for Renewable Energy Economic Development (CREED) at U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) invites cleantech entrepreneurs to attend the next event in its Entrepreneur Series.

The Aug. 25 class, “Go-to-Market Strategies,” will help cleantech entrepreneurs analyze primary and secondary markets and teach them how to build and use a Go-to-Market strategy. Speakers will include Boulder WindPower’s CEO Sandy Butterfield and CFO Tim Connor. After the August session, a September workshop will provide targeted one-on-one advice.

“The cleantech industry is unique,” NREL Manager for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center Richard Adams said. “The space between being a cleantech entrepreneur and having a full-fledged company is full of both opportunities and pitfalls. CREED’s Entrepreneur Series helps bridge those gaps and provides support for companies trying to get off the ground. The Entrepreneur Series is designed to build a community among cleantech participants so they can draw on one another for expertise, support and networks.”

CREED is a collaborative partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the state of Colorado to expand cleantech entrepreneurship in Colorado. It is designed to bring together stakeholders and service providers that support the creation and growth of startup cleantech companies, contributing to economic development in Colorado.
