Cleantech Innovation Highlights Series - WEEK 4
Series—Week Four
This is SEP’s fourth post in our weekly series highlighting key insights from our Cleantech Innovation Hubs Whitepaper.
How many cleantech sectors does your hub place in the top 10? SEP tracks cleantech innovation across 9 distinct sectors, from energy storage and new mobility to advanced materials and clean food.
Only four cleantech hubs made the top 10 in all nine sectors: the Bay Area, Boston, New York City, and Los Angeles. Just two more—Colorado Cleanrange (#5 overall) and D.C. (#7)—ranked in the top 10 for eight. Their only near-misses?
▶️ Colorado Cleanrange ranks 12th in Advanced Materials
▶️ D.C. ranks 13th in Designed Environment
These hubs are sector-diverse powerhouses, poised to lead across the cleantech economy, not just in one niche. SEP’s sector scoring helps investors and ecosystem builders identify balanced, opportunity-rich hubs—not just big names.
SEP’s 2024 Cleantech Innovation Hubs Survey ranks the top 100 U.S. cleantech hubs based on their strength in Research, Technology, and Venture activity, offering a fresh update to our 2021 report.🔗 Access the free executive summary, low-cost whitepaper, and interactive hub database here: https://www.saoradh.com/marketplace-new/2024-cleantech-innovation-hubs-survey
