The Research Triangle Cleantech Cluster (RTCC) accelerates growth and leadership of the cleantech economy, leveraging the unique concentration of industry, academic, and government leaders in the Research Triangle to create benefits through innovation, deployment, and talent in the region, North Carolina, and beyond.

We are a 50l(c)(6) not-for-profit organization supporting a diverse and growing network of members, sponsors, and partners working to create sustainable communities through cleantech innovation and adoption. From our 2012 origins as part of the Research Triangle Regional Partnership, RTCC has evolved and expanded our work and membership to include a wide range of clean technologies and solutions. Working with our economic development and innovation partners in the Research Triangle and North Carolina, we actively support efforts to bring new cleantech companies and jobs to our region and state and do everything we can to share the accomplishments of our unique cleantech community.

Our work and membership continue to evolve with advancements and priorities of the cleantech economy, and we are constantly exploring where our organization and members can move cleantech forward.

As the cleantech economy continues to expand and grow, RTCC will grow with it.
