Communication

We act as a unified voice for Colorado's industry to lawmakers, the media, the public and other states. Our work brands Colorado as a hub for cleantech products and services, attracting talent and investment to the area.

CCIA helps Colorado's cleantech businesses participate at national and international trade fairs and trade missions to communicate Colorado's reputation for high quality products and services, entrepreneurial spirit, leading edge innovations, knowledge and expertise, and environmental awareness.

Committees and Working Groups

CCIA is the center of a broad hub of investors, research institutions, entrepreneurs and academics interested in this sector. We track trends of significance to the industry and disseminate knowledge on issues that matter. We connect the broad spectrum of cleantech sectors through committee participation, working groups, educational programs and networking events.

Committees and Working Groups allow members to be actively involved in the long term development and expansion of the CCIA. Members help determine the direction of the Association, gain visibility for their own organization and determine the programs and events that will most greatly benefit the Colorado cleantech community.
