The network was formally established in fall of 2009 by Denmark’s Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster (CCC) and the CCEC. Over the next five years it will be further developed to include 10 to 15 of the world’s most proactive cleantech clusters. The ICN’s ambition is to build up a global network based on an innovative approach to cooperation and knowledge sharing between its members.

- Building a strong global cleantech network between the world’s leading clusters;
