Our Plan for Climatetech Growth in Massachusetts

Climate change threatens jobs, businesses, and Massachusetts communities. Our response is a profound economic opportunity. That’s why MassCEC has developed a strategy to expand Massachusetts's standing as the climate innovation lab for the world while driving an equitable clean energy transformation and helping Massachusetts communities adapt to climate change. Thanks to historic funding from the Mass Leads Act, MassCEC is leading the Commonwealth’s efforts to:

Grow, retain, and attract climatetech companies as they scale from the lab to the manufacturing facility
Drive equity and create high-quality jobs in every region of Massachusetts
Become the top destination for climatetech capital and a promising place for investment
Cement our status as the #1 state for climatetech research and development

MassCEC’s Massachusetts Climatetech Economic Development Strategy & Implementation Plan offers a framework to drive this work and is the beginning of what is a transformative, collaborative effort. We are leading the industry that will help us solve the planet’s greatest challenge and protect communities around the world.
