September: Illinois Clean Energy Fund Awards with Rob Day, Women In Energy, 2015 Challenge & More!

This fall Clean Energy Trust turns five years old, and that milestone comes with three exciting new programs. We’ve launched a brand new seed investment fund, kicking off the 2015 Clean Energy Challenge and we're working on the Cleantech Innovation Bridge. We’re thrilled to keep growing the Midwest energy innovation funding pipeline and landscape; thanks for your support heading into a game-changing year! 

SAVE THE DATES:

Illinois Clean Energy Fund Awards presented by Clean Energy Trust and Illinois Department of Commerce & Opportunity

Keynote Speaker: Rob Day, Partner with Black Coral Capital and blogger with Greentech Media

Monday October 27, 1:30 - 6:30pm

The finalists for the Illinois Clean Energy Fund Awards will pitch in front of a panel of judges who will determine the first investments of the Fund. The companies that meet the criteria for Fund investments are generally more established startups than the typical Challenge applicant. We hope to continue building a strong pipeline of funding for the most promising clean energy companies. 

Event registration and ticket information will be sent out next week. 

2015 Clean Energy Challenge
