Who We Are
The Research Triangle Cleantech Cluster (RTCC) is 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.
What We Do
RTCC serves as a catalyst for cleantech innovation and adoption, ensuring that cutting-edge solutions reach the industries, communities, and governments that need them most. Innovation and economic growth thrive when supported by collaboration, strong networks, and a dynamic ecosystem—this is where we excel.
We accelerate cleantech adoption and economic growth by focusing on the following strategic priorities:
- Convene: Unite stakeholders to exchange ideas, identify opportunities to meet business and environmental goals, and drive progress.
- Connect: Bridge industry, government, and academia to foster innovation and build relationships between clean technology providers and consumers.
- Educate: Provide insights into policies, trends, and market opportunities that shape the cleantech landscape while amplifying the expertise of our members.
- Foster Talent: Cultivate the next generation of cleantech leaders through targeted programs and partnerships while connecting employers with the talent they need.
Our mission goes beyond the Research Triangle—we are shaping a cleaner, more prosperous future for North Carolina and beyond. By advancing business solutions and strengthening the cleantech ecosystem, we are helping to create a world where innovation leads to lasting impact.
