NewWater Named Semifinalist in Minnesota Cup and Cleantech Open

Minneapolis, MN - June 18, 2010 - Both the Minnesota Cup and the Cleantech Open announced
their semifinalist rounds this week, and NewWater has advanced in each.

economic challenges."  NewWater is one of 16 semifinalists from the North Central region which
includes Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.  

The Cleantech Open is more than a competition in that it provides mentoring and support from
business specialists:  things that are especially helpful to startups.  Thank you to the volunteers
and sponsors of the Cleantech Open.

and their breakthrough ideas."  The Cup is broken down into 6 divisions: BioSciences, High
