Come join E2Tech and NECEC with the UMaine Portland Gateway at the Maine Center for an evening of food, drink, celebration and opportunity!
Learn how the CleanTech Open accelerator program can help you develop your venture and how to apply to participate. Since 2005, more than 70% of Cleantech Open's reporting alumni companies nationwide are still active and have collectively raised over $2B in external funding.
We welcome entrepreneurs, students, investors, savvy technologists, and those interested in joining our growing cleantech community in Maine. E2Tech has been a partner in this initiative since 2013, and participation fees for Mainers in CleanTech Open Northeast can be covered by Maine Technology Institute!
