Urbanova selected to compete in CleanTech Innovation Showcase

CleanTech Alliance to spotlight clean technology innovations from established industry leaders, high-growth companies and startups.
 

CleanTech Alliance announced the 24 companies selected to present their latest clean technology innovations, ideas and initiatives at the CleanTech Innovation Showcase on June 26 in Seattle.
 
Held June 26, 2017, at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, the CleanTech Innovation Showcase is the region’s premier one-day conference focused on technology and business innovation. Companies, research institutions and partnerships from across U.S., Canada and beyond submit applications and compete for one of 24 presenting company spots. An independent panel of CleanTech Alliance members review these applications and select the 24 presenting companies, which receive 20 minutes to showcase their latest clean technology innovations, initiatives and ideas in front of the event’s more than 500 attendees spanning industry, investors, policymakers and media.
 
“The CleanTech Innovation Showcase celebrates the innovation that lies at the heart of the clean technology sector,” said J. Thomas Ranken, President & CEO of the CleanTech Alliance. “It’s the only industry conference where you’ll find industry giants presenting side-by-side with early-stage startups and research intuitions. That mixture creates a charged atmosphere that motivates attendees to learn, partner and invest in the best our industry has to offer.”
