The Coalition for Innovation is not a conventional initiative; it is an experiment in collective curiosity. It is an invitation to dream boldly and work together, grounded in the simple belief that science, technology, and human ingenuity still hold the keys to a better world.
We come together not to debate if a clean, equitable, and abundant future is possible—we come together to determine how to make it real, fast.
This blueprint is a living document authored by innovators, investors, scientists, policymakers, and entrepreneurs. It represents a “big tent” exploration of where cleantech is today, what barriers remain, and where we can go in the next five years—if we choose collaboration over competition, curiosity over cynicism, and courage over inertia.
The Blueprint defines a vision for the future through which technology innovation can improve the lives of people, their communities, and the planet. The structure of the Blueprint is intended to be as inclusive as possible in which different chapters focus on different topic areas, written by different authors with individual perspectives.
