2019 has been a great year for cleantech in Colorado. While some of the "greatness" comes from a solid legislative session, increased visibility for Colorado's cleantech community and some fantastic investments in Colorado companies, much of the "greatness" is just a feeling. We're feeling a momentum in Colorado's cleantech community that we haven't felt in a long time. We're feeling a groundswell of activity from the companies that already call Colorado home to the companies looking to move here. We're feeling a confidence in the industry and an exciting expansion of the cleantech definition that we haven't had in years.
We look forward to working with you in 2020 to capitalize on this momentum and build on the opportunities we're seeing in the state's cleantech industry. Congratulations on a successful 2019 and here's to an exciting 2020.
Sincerely,
Shelly Curtiss
Executive Director
