Clean Technology Initiative

Our Clean Technology Initiative offers a six-phase program to assist Arizona small businesses with clean technology ventures. The process begins with a technology assessment and the development of an action plan and continues through action plan implementation, marketing and the beta testing and actual production of clean tech products and services.

The AZSBDC Network is one of only three SBDC networks in the U.S. that received an Energy Efficiency Clean Technology Assistance Program grant. We’re working with the Arizona Commerce Authority, the Arizona Technology Council, statewide leaders in procurement and research, Arizona’s three universities and public-private partners from across the state to build a foundation that will foster the growth of new industries, the creation of new jobs and the development of hundreds of clean tech businessess and products in Arizona over the next three years.
