Our largest — and in fact, only — fundraiser of the year, the
Cleantech Awards Celebration
, is right around the corner, on October 24, in Boulder at Rayback Collective. We're celebrating 10 years of CCIA in 2018, and we're thrilled to continue to support this thriving community of cleantech and clean energy innovators in Colorado.
We are currently
taking nominations
for the awards, which fall into four categories: High Impact, Breakout and Emerging Cleantech companies, as well as the Cleantech Innovator of the Year for an individual. Self nominations are welcome, and there are no restrictions on the number of nominations you can submit.
If you're wondering about the furry hat in the picture and missed the party last year, we invite you to come check it out. Our awards celebration is the largest opportunity of the year for networking in cleantech on the Front Range.

Copper connects wirelessly to residential electric meters so utilities can achieve the benefits of smart grid faster and at lower cost. Consumers can track energy usage and solar generation in real-time, receive notifications when energy patterns change, and learn how consumption choices will affect their energy bills. With real-time visibility behind the meter and a new channel to engage customers with actionable energy insights, Copper helps utilities take control of energy demand - with or without smart meters.
