Funding a Cleantech Company Series: Public Money: How and Where to Get It

The Environmental Business Cluster presents Funding a Cleantech Company Series:
Public Money: How and Where to Get It.

The US Government provides billions in grants, loans, tax incentives and more to keep R&D here in the States. The funds are distributed through a variety of agencies such as NSF, ARPA-E, CEC, DOE, DOD, NIST, and SBIR programs; but what can you do to increase your chances of securing government funds and what are some of the strings attached to 'free money'? Join a panel of entrepreneurs and experts who have been successful navigating the public financing process and as well as representatives from government funding agencies that can provide guidance on how to increase your probability for success.

Our Panel discussions are candid, interactive and informal. We want you to walk away with the real story behind how things work so you can make it happen yourself.
