The Colorado Cleantech Industry Association has
announced the creation of the Cleantech
Fellows Institute designed to create new and robust leadership for emerging
cleantech markets.
This 17-week intensive program is the first of
its kind in the nation and will focus on transforming C-level executives to
lead near-market cleantech companies.
Applicants strongly encouraged to apply are
former executives from the aerospace, biotechnology and enterprise technology
industries who have a desire to transition to the cleantech industry. Those
accepted into the program will receive opportunities for networking,
accelerated training from cleantech industry experts and exposure to a variety
of clean technologies.
Candidates should have prior experience in
raising capital, managing the growth of an early stage company and must be able
to commit to the four-month program.
With Colorado being a natural hub for
cleantech, it only made sense for the program to kick-off here. Beginning Sept.
17 and running through Jan. 2013, the intensive program will be made up of
eight weeks in Colorado at various locations including the Department of
Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL)
and seven weeks held “virtually.”
Some areas of focus for the curriculum will
include: energy storage, advanced transportation technologies, building
technologies and energy efficiency.
Deadline for applications is July 6, with
interviews also scheduled in July.
