GOLDEN, CO, April 27, 2000 - Technology-based start-up companies in the energy sector will be aided in their growth and development from a strategic alliance formed between the Austin Technology Incubator (ATI) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

In a news release from NREL, the lab said ATI - a program of the IC2 Institute of The University of Texas at Austin - will provide qualified companies with strategic, financial and management services while immersing them in an energized business setting. NREL will build upon this expertise and bring its relationships with international institutions, the venture capital community, multi-lateral lending institutions and national, state and local governments to help ATI jumpstart clean energy businesses in Texas.
