Environmental Business Cluster and Autodesk Partner to Support Clean Technology

By DE Editors

Autodesk, Inc. and the Environmental Business Cluster (EBC) have forged an industry partnership to offer benefits of the Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program to the EBC community so companies can innovate and commercialize their ideas more quickly.

“The Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program is a unique and cost-effective new way for our community to jump-start new product development and better market product ideas for competitive advantage.”

EBC is a clean tech incubator in Silicon Valley that provides commercialization support and facilities for emerging clean energy and environmental technology companies. The Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program provides Digital Prototyping software to clean technology companies to enable them to digitally design, visualize and simulate the real-world performance of products before they are built. Creation of digital prototypes can serve as a catalyst to help participants secure financing and effectively market their ideas.

With this partnership,  Autodesk will offer a clean tech software starter package and a series of exclusive events to qualifying EBC companies, community members and subscribers. Applicants from emerging clean tech companies can receive Autodesk Inventor Professional, Autodesk Showcase Professional and Autodesk Vault Professional software. Once an EBC company enters the Autodesk program,  Autodesk reseller KETIV Technologies works to assess any additional products offered in the Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program that may be required to fit each company’s specific needs. KETIV is also available to provide cost-effective services and training to support a successful implementation.

“The EBC has helped more than 175 businesses along their path to commercialization,” says Melinda Richter, executive director of the Environmental Business Cluster. “The Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program is a unique and cost-effective new way for our community to jump-start new product development and better market product ideas for competitive advantage.”
