The Trade Commissioner Service in Denver in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), developed the C4 initiative.

Other key partners include Posit Partners, Katten Muchin Rosenman, Clean Launch and the Colorado Cleantech Industry Association.

C4 is designed to help clean-tech companies to reduce the risks of bringing their technologies to market and to connect with strategic partners and investors.

Mantra president and CEO Larry Kristof said the company’s participation in the initiative reinforces its presence in the market place.

Mantra, through its group of sustainable energy, carbon reduction and consumer product subsidiaries, is engaged in the green technology marketplace.

NREL is the federal laboratory dedicated to the research, development, commercialization and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
