About Us
Colorado is leading the way in cleantech employment, R&D and investment. The cluster of companies, national laboratories and university resources that call the state home are second to none. Colorado was the first state to pass clean energy standards by the ballot, we’re 4th nationally in cleantech job concentration, 8th in cleantech venture capital investment, and our federal labs make us number one in the world for cleantech research.
Cleantech in Colorado
Clean Edge has consistently ranked Colorado in the top 10 of their Cleantech Index, an indication of leadership in the cleantech industry.
