Supply Chain to Clean Energy
Of course, Dezelski adds that chambers should be paying attention to not only clean energy companies themselves, but also to the companies providing support to the companies.
“It’s one more opportunity to support small businesses, and in many cases, they benefit from the same chamber deliverables as many small businesses,” she added.
Finding clean energy companies is not always easy. They are often working to develop the next great technology or finding the right location for their facility. They often don’t seek public attention.
That’s why Arthur said it will take work but look at local incubators for potential new companies that will become major companies in your community.
“These are filled with fast growing companies and you want to pay attention,” she said. “It’s up to the chamber to make the connection.”
