With the Sacramento region quickly becoming the clean energy technology capital, the Sacramento Metro Chamber and the Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance have created a one-of-a-kind resource directory—Sacramento Region’s Clean Tech Green Pages.

The directory—funded on a grant from PG&E—was compiled by Applied Development Economics and the Sacramento Metro Chamber. It has powerful resources for start-up clean tech businesses, companies planning to relocate into the six-county region and existing companies who want to expand their green business practices.

“This is a dynamic new resource for our region’s clean tech business community,” said Matt Mahood, Metro Chamber president & CEO. “As we look for ways to grow and expand our region’s economy—especially this year—the clean tech industry continues to provide this region with a unique opportunity—an opportunity to be a leader in the state, in the nation and in the world.”

Over the past few years, the region has seen a handful of clean tech companies grow into more than a hundred. “The Sacramento region is truly a hot spot for the clean tech sector. This resource directory fills a recognized and critical need by providing customized assistance for this industry sector,” Mahood said.

Sacramento Region’s Clean Tech Green Pages details information and resources on funding, starting a CET business, entrepreneurship, management and training, employee training and recruitment, information on technology transfer and business mentoring and counseling.

Joining the Metro Chamber in development of the Sacramento Region’s Clean Tech Green Pages is the SARTA—Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance. SARTA is one of several public-private partnerships dedicated to accelerating the growth and development of technology companies.

“The Clean Tech Green Pages contains critical information and is a must-have resource for all tech companies who want to survive and thrive,” said J.D. Stack, SARTA CEO. “As well, the development of this resource significantly sets our region apart from all other cities and regions, as we have a competitive advantage here that’s clearly illustrated by the depth of the directory. We are telling clean tech industries—come, stay and expand in the Sacramento region…we have all kinds of help for you!”

The directory is intended to be a “living document” and updates are encouraged. One section reviews current gaps in clean tech resources. “Future editions will keep up with the ever-evolving landscape of our resources,” Stack said. “We are always looking for more resource providers.”
