DOE’s Community Energy Innovation Summit Shines in Chicago!
On December 4-5, 2024, the Clean Energy Business Network (CEBN) participated in the Community Energy Innovation (CEI) Summit, which was hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in Chicago, IL. Taking place at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)—a federally recognized Hispanic- and Minority-Serving Institution—the Summit showcased 19 teams from the CEI Prize’s Clean Energy and Manufacturing Ecosystem Tracks, along with other organizations working to support innovation, entrepreneurship, capacity building, and economic development in communities historically underrepresented in clean energy funding. This event was made possible, in part, through sponsorship by E2, the Clean Energy for America Education Fund, Climate Power, and Invenergy.
