Northwest Cleantech Innovation Network Provides Regional Support in the Pacific Northwest and AlaskaBlogFebruary 26, 2024The Northwest Cleantech Innovation Network (NWCIN), a collaborative initiative between VertueLab, CleanTech Alliance, and the University of Washington's Washington Clean Energy Testbeds, has leveraged a series of grants from the Office of Technology Transitions’ (OTT) Energy Program for Innovation Clusters (EPIC) to support the commercialization of early-stage cleantech startups across the Northwestern U.S. and Western Canada. Starting with a $50,000 award in 2020, and later receiving nearly $1 million in 2021, the network has expanded its offerings to include the Cascadia CleanTech Accelerator, Federal Funding Assistance program, Lab2Launch, and the Cleantech Hardware Innovation Prototyping (CHIP) program. To date, NWCIN has aided 36 companies in creating over 140 jobs, developing 44 prototypes, executing 33 demonstration projects, securing 9 patents, and filing an additional 17 patent applications, showcasing the significant impact of EPIC funding on regional cleantech innovation and startup support.Office of Technology Commercialization
