Eco-Focused Small Business Programs

FedTech has launched the 'Four Corners CleanTech Cluster,' a program that helps small businesses and entrepreneurs in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah develop clean energy solutions. Funded in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), this initiative is part of the SBA’s Regional Innovation Clusters (RIC) network and "provides training, mentorship, and resources to bring clean technology ideas to market."

The program offers two tracks to support businesses at different stages. The first is an accelerator workshop for early-stage startups, covering business planning, market trends, and regulations. The second track helps established businesses grow by providing services like intellectual property guidance, market research, and investor support. The program also ensures that historically underserved entrepreneurs receive access to valuable resources, helping to create a more inclusive and sustainable clean energy sector.
