SARTA's CleanStart Program

Initiative Objective

CleanStart is an initiative of SARTA designed to accelerate the development of clean technology ventures within the greater Sacramento region. Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge, capital and connections that are critical to creating a successful new business.

CleanStart finished its fifth year in 2010, having achieved most of its five year goals in stimulatng more clean tech companies, investment, and jobs in the region. The long-term goal remains to bring in 10,000 new jobs and $5billion in revenue. The pace of additions clearly slowed in the past two years, delaying the achievement of this aggressive goal. In 2011, CleanStart will establish new goals based on our experience and the input from our Advisory Committee.
