This is the business model for NICCE. NICCE and our partners together, create the leading clean energy commercialization organization in the world. In our network is 350 clean tech partners (CEOs, COOs, CFOs and other executive business leaders). We match inventors with investors and we bring technology to market. Our team is a professional commercialization team with more than 50 years combined experience. We are seeking locations for commercializing these technologies -localities that want to "make a deal" and who can offer good incentives beyond cheap space and shared fax machines/admin...we seek next generation business deals. For more information on who we are, review this document and give us a call.

2. The National Institute for the Commercialization of Clean Energy How did the story begin? Virginia Tech University started the program with funding from the Virginia Tobacco Commission. The program grew out of a small regional center called Riverstone Technology Park. The program soon went statewide and then national. Virginia Tech’s program leader, Dr. Inge of Great Falls Virginia, spun the program into a public-private venture called NICCE. NICCE is an acronym for the National Institute.

3. The National Institute for the Commercialization of Clean Energy What is the Goal? Create the National Capitol Clean Energy Incubator, located in the Washington, DC area. Create the world’s largest physical modeling and simulation center focused on clean energy and environmental technology. Create the “epicenter” of clean energy commercialization and develop a Mid-Atlantic corridor of clean tech activity in the USA.

4. The National Institute for the Commercialization of Clean Energy What are the objectives? Identify disruptive clean energy technologies that can commercialize within 36 months and bring them to market; Find communities that want to help these technologies grow-called “green incubators of the future” and develop these physical assets; and Find customers for the technology and help make the “sale” by providing value-added to the process, such as modeling and simulation services.
