The CalCEF Innovations group was formed in 2008 to design and pilot business models, financial products and public policies that grow clean energy markets and accelerate adoption of clean energy technologies. Our diverse stakeholders—leading investment firms, policy makers, academics, scientists and advocates—provide a constant stream of insights into the challenges facing this unique and critical industry. This network contributes to our greatest strength: our ability to implement and drive solutions into the public and private marketplaces. We accomplish these goals primarily through our Entrepreneurs-In-Residence Program.
