Eco Commerce is a new business, investment, and technology-development model that employs market-based solutions to balancing the world’s energy needs and environmental integrity. Through the use of trading and finance, Eco Commerce allows for the further development of clean technologies. Eco Innovation is the introduction of any new or significantly improved product, good or service, process, organizational change or marketing solution that reduces the use of natural resources, including materials, energy, water, and land, and decreases the release of harmful substances across the whole life-cycle.

CEC is accompanied by a wide range of business and financial support nurturing the technology innovators to scale. The core business in promoting Eco Innovation and Commerce, stimulating investment in new technology, first application and market replication projects, and start-ups, is to jump-start the creation of enterprises that can accelerate economic growth, transform business processes and industries, create new business models and jobs, and improve the competitiveness of companies.

CEC has established itself globally as an essential resource for Eco Innovation and Commerce. As a neutral force, CEC facilitates communication, educates its audiences, and initiates change. CEC has implemented an invitation-only process. Unsolicited proposals are NOT accepted. We work closely with our local chapter leaders, and highly qualified individuals and organizations, to internally develop priorities, projects and a strategic portfolio of technologies. The corporate office is located in Atlanta with satellite offices in key locations worldwide. We attract and gather enterprises, financial and legal institutions, governmental bodies and non-governmental organizations to accelerate commercialization of Eco Innovations across industries and continents in developed and developing countries. We support environmental technology innovators and investors by unlocking global markets and market barriers. Local chapters assist regional businesses, organizations and agencies wanting to collaborate in sustainable development by facilitating easy access to partnerships and networking in funding, marketing, local trust and understanding, standards, policy and government support. We connect innovators, investors, business and policy leaders through a powerful community platform, Eco Commerce Hub, in a way that does not require a large investment of funds and time. We believe that a viral community of experts, leaders, and learners working together will provide balanced and effective solutions for business, environment, and society. Funding efficiency is needed to accelerate eco innovation. Access to finance is essential for the start up and growth of businesses for the development and deployment of eco innovation. However, there are many challenges faced by financial actors and small to medium sized enterprises in this domain. The latest research reveals that up to 85% of technologies developed globally never see the commercial light of day because a virtual chasm often separates applied research from technology demonstration.
