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.
