Who We Are: The Race is On
Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) is a non-partisan national network of local chambers of commerce dedicated to restoring the nation's leadership in innovation and economic prosperity. Since our nation's founding, innovation has been the key to unlocking America's economic potential. From the Industrial Revolution, to the Space Race, to the advent of the Internet, innovation has been an engine that drives economic opportunities and progress. We believe that American ingenuity and innovation can once again unleash the power we need to drive our economy and country forward. We also believe that clean energy can be a powerful economic development vehicle. Local chambers of commerce can provide leadership in America's clean energy race.
The race is on to become the first country in the world to build a comprehensive clean energy economy. The global clean energy race provides unparalleled opportunities for America to accelerate its technological leadership, create steady revenue streams, and build jobs for the 21st century. The $243 billion clean energy market is central to the economic aspirations of America, creating jobs at a rate five times faster than investments in fossil energy.
Working through CICE, local chambers of commerce can join with likeminded chambers to advance meaningful, market-based solutions to transition quickly to clean energy and unlock the potential growth for America to re-gain its leadership in the 21st Century global economy.
