Illinois Clean Energy Innovation Fund

The Illinois Clean Energy Innovation Fund is a revolving investment fund seeded by a grant from the state of Illinois and the U.S. Department of Energy. It is now managed by Evergreen Climate Innovations, a non-profit investment fund. This fund makes direct investments in high-potential, early-stage companies to support innovation in the clean tech sector. Eligible sectors include renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy storage, and alternative fuels.
