Does your company have a cleantech focus? Or do you know one that does? 

The Spark Innovation Center is launching a brand new cleantech accelerator in Knoxville, Tennessee with the support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the City of Knoxville, Tennessee Valley Authority, and others to help early stage companies bring their technologies to market.

The program will be led by a serial entrepreneur and investor with background in cleantech, John Bruck, and we’re assembling a great group of technical supporters in areas such as engineering, legal, and finance to help the participating companies accelerate their path to market.

There’s even a stipend to help with living expenses! Applications are being accepted now through April 11th for the first Spark Cleantech Accelerator, and six companies will begin work this June for 12 weeks.

This is really a special opportunity, and we hope you will consider applying or forwarding the attached information to companies you think could benefit from the experience.
