The Clean Tech Center at The Tech Garden in Syracuse is a NYSERDA-funded initiative focused on supporting companies commercializing environmental and clean energy technologies. Clean Tech refers to an emerging sector of products, services, and processes that harness renewable energy sources, reduce the carbon footprint, and advance sustainability.

The ultimate goal of the Clean Tech Center is to support client companies by providing the training, resources, and expertise needed to get them ready for investment, cash flow positive, and successfully commercializing their emerging clean energy technologies.

The Clean Tech Center offers support for entrepreneurs and early stage companies through incubation, acceleration and retention. We evaluate each company’s individual needs and provide customized assistance in order to obtain funding, technical support, and commercialization assistance.

In addition, The Clean Tech Center works to connect clean tech companies with national and state resource providers for acceleration support of staged growth.
