How can EPA help me develop or promote my new technology?

EPA has many programs and resources to assist a company or individual in developing environmental technology. We recommend you view these Web sites which can direct you to information about testing, funding, and working with the EPA.

Environmental Technology Opportunities Portal (ETOP)
http://www.epa.gov/etop/
ETOP links you to programs that help fund development of new environmental technologies and offers information on existing environmental technologies.

EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program
http://www.epa.gov/etv/
ETV develops testing protocols and verifies the performance of innovative technologies that have the potential to improve protection of human health and the environment. ETV was created to accelerate the entrance of new environmental technologies into the domestic and international marketplace. ETV is also verifying monitoring and treatment technologies relevant for water security.

Partnership Programs

Partnership programs enable flexible, collaborative, market-driven solutions that can deliver measurable environmental results. That's why we work with businesses, communities, state and local governments, and other organizations. This area of the EPA site provides information on our array of partnership programs and describes the benefits of joining.
