Navy Yard BuildingEmerging Business Opportunity... Help Solve America's Energy Challenges         

DVIRC would like to take this  

opportunity to make you aware of the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC) for Energy-Efficient Buildings centered at The Philadelphia Navy Yard. GPIC is a five-year collaboration of more than 90 organizations that have secured $130 million from four federal agencies. The DVIRC is a co-applicant supporting this initiative.

 

We are seeking to identify and connect small and mid-sized manufacturers and/or technology developers in Greater Philadelphia that are, or can be integrated into the energy-efficient building sector.

 

To get started please take a few minutes to complete a brief survey to help us identify the region's assets related to this energy initiative. Visit
