322_  Millions of Dollars for the Colorado Collaboratory
When we started people thought it was impossible pointed out Carl Koval, Director of the Energy Initiative, CU Boulder Campus. It began with a desire to have a more formal tie to NREL and the other research institutions in the state: CU , CSU and CO School of Mines.
 Kate Tallman, Director, CUTTO, Boulder and Colorado Springs Campus and Carl were happy to say that there are now 3 different projects, in 3 different areas, that are moving along. One is CRISP, the Center for Revolutionary Solar Photo Chemistry and that’s a proposal we submitted for a total of $22 million over 3 years. The second S-TA C was initiated by XCEL Energy. They’re very interested in creating a site, where as new solar photovoltaic technologies come on the marketplace, they can be displayed and tested. This might be located near NREL and students and faculty at the universities would be involved in testing and various things. The Third and furthest along, in terms of the agreements that they talked about, is C2B2, or the Colorado Center for Bio Refining and Bio Fuels. Carl says, Kate ( CUTTO) will be modest about this, our ability to take 3 different research institutions together with NREL is unique in the country.

CB-23_ There's a Reward and Price to Pay for Risk
 Yegor Drozdov possessed an appetite for risk that was evident in his gutsy launch of an Audi-Volkswagen dealership in the Boston area while he was still in his 20s. Born in Russia, Drozdov had moved to the United States when he was 13, and to hear friends tell it, he sought out all the experiences and adventures he could. But that thirst for thrill also caused Drozdov’s Longmont business partner, Chad Clark, concern — not only for his friend’s well-being, but for the health of the car dealership they were gearing up to open in Longmont..

Colorado Companies Share Lessons About Going Global - Culture Clash
 Americans like to get business done and then go out for dinner and drinks. In Europe, expect to spend a lot of time socializing first if you want to clinch the deal. That's part of the culture clash. "In Europe, it’s about establishing the relationship," Jeppesen senior vice president Greg Bowlin told a group of business people Thursday in Denver at World Trade Day. "We shouldn’t expect the Europeans to act like us." Going global means deciphering the maze of trade agreements, exchange rates and labor laws, but all that is immaterial if you haven’t bothered to bone up on the most important subject: Culture.
