SACC San Diego’s Clean Technology Program

The City of San Diego initiated an Initiative in 2007 in an effort to promote the expansion, attraction and retention of businesses that develop products and technologies that provide environmentally sustainable solutions. Clean technology encompasses advancements in solar power, wind power, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell technology, tidal and wave power, bio-diesel, green building materials and water treatment systems. Clean technology is becoming cost-competitive with traditional energy counterparts and offers promising economic development to a $156 billion market within 10 years, according to research by Clean Edge, Inc. As the sixth largest investment category in the U.S. and Canada, clean technology holds the promise of new business opportunities, job creation, and technological innovation for San Diego. The San Diego region, already one of the world's premier centers for high-tech and biotech innovation, is poised to become a leader in clean technology research and development.
