Last week the Rocky Mountain Region of the Cleantech Open announced the three finalists and sustainability award winner that they will be sending to the Cleantech Open Global Forum in San Jose, CA this November to compete for the $200,000 award package. The finalists worked through the regional accelerator with twenty other companies and then competed to come out on top and travel to the national finals.

As a sponsor, PADT was honored to be in attendance at Denver’s Cable Center for the 5th Anniversary event. The best part was that two of the three finalists were companies from Tucson Arizona. The three winners were:
- Grannus (Tucson, AZ) as a finalist and sustainability award winner for their zero-emissions process for making nitrogen fertilizer.
- HJ3 Composite Technologies (Tucson, AZ) as a finalist for their composite infrastructure repair system.
- OptiEnz Sensors (Ft. Colins, CO) as a Finalist for their in-situ organic chemical sensors.
We enjoyed working with all of the applicants throughout the year and look forward to working with the finalists as they move forward. We wish them the best of luck and are rooting for them to return to the region as one of the winners.
