EIT InnoEnergy has announced cleantech capital Boston, MA as the launchpad for its expansion into the US market. The new office will help entrepreneurs develop their innovations and reduce time to market by providing direct access to industrial partners in EIT InnoEnergy’s ecosystem.
Supporting the launch, EIT InnoEnergy has signed a partnership with Greentown Labs, a cleantech start-up incubator in North America. EIT InnoEnergy and Greentown Labs are both active members of the Incubatenergy Network, a consortium of US clean energy-focused incubators that have supported more than 500 companies.
EIT InnoEnergy’s new office is led by former Greentown Labs founding team member Mark Vasu, who has been appointed as US Operations Manager while EIT InnoEnergy’s Innovation Director Elena Bou has joined Greentown Labs’ Advisory Board. The Boston location joins EIT InnoEnergy’s Pan-European business activity via its network of offices in Barcelona, Lisbon, Berlin, Karlsruhe, Grenoble, Stockholm, Krakow, Brussels, Eindhoven and Amsterdam.
