Background

Founded in 2006, CEC is a fast growing international network of Innovators and Investors, the first and most vibrant B2B Eco Commerce community in the world. Simply, we accelerate the transfer of knowledge and new technology, and advance the business of Eco Commerce. 

We are a global community of Business Innovators, Leaders, Investors, Venture Capitalists, Philanthropists, Entrepreneurs, Corporate Intrapreneurs, and other Experts. 

We represent Private and Public Companies, Financial Institutions, Chambers of Commerce, Government Departments of Commerce, International Trade Administrations, Trade Associations, Embassies and Consulates, Industry Service Providers, and other organizations.

CEC is accompanied by a wide range of business and financial support nurturing the technology innovators to scale. The core business in promoting Eco Innovation and Commerce, stimulating investment in new technology, first application and market replication projects, and start-ups, is to jump-start the creation of enterprises that can accelerate economic growth, transform business processes and industries, create new business models and jobs, and improve the competitiveness of companies.

We work collaboratively with business, government, and non-government organizations.

CEC's contributions are:

• Making high quality information available to decision-makers in business and other sectors to help them integrate Eco Innovation and Commerce into their operations;
• Identifying obstacles and opportunities through collaborative networking with business, government and other constituencies;
• Catalyzing projects that address project needs, and bringing people and resources together to deploy Eco Innovation;
• Promoting Eco Innovation as an essential element of sustainable development strategy.

CEC has established itself globally as an essential resource for Eco Innovation and Commerce. As a neutral force, CEC facilitates communication, educates its audiences, and initiates change.

CEC has implemented an invitation-only process. Unsolicited proposals are NOT accepted. We work closely with our local chapter leaders, and highly qualified individuals and organizations, to internally develop priorities, projects and a strategic portfolio of technologies. 

The corporate office is located in the state of Georgia (USA) with satellite offices in key locations worldwide. 

We attract and gather enterprises, financial and legal institutions, governmental bodies and non-governmental organizations to accelerate commercialization of Eco Innovations across industries and continents in developed and developing countries. 

We support environmental technology innovators and investors by unlocking global markets and market barriers. Local chapters assist regional businesses, organizations and agencies wanting to collaborate in sustainable development by facilitating easy access to partnerships and networking in funding, marketing, local trust and understanding, standards, policy and government support. 

We believe that a viral community of experts, leaders, and learners working together will provide balanced and effective solutions for business, environment, and society. 

Funding efficiency is needed to accelerate eco innovation. Access to finance is essential for the start up and growth of businesses for the development and deployment of eco innovation. However, there are many challenges faced by financial actors and small to medium sized enterprises in this domain.

The latest research reveals that up to 85% of technologies developed globally never see the commercial light of day because a virtual chasm often separates applied research from technology demonstration.
