In 2010, the Greater Philadelphia region celebrated the award of $129M from the U.S. DOE and other federal agencies to create the Greater Philadelphia Innovation Cluster (GPIC) for Energy Efficient Buildings at The Navy Yard Clean Energy Campus. GPIC is a first-of-its-kind national energy cluster devoted to increasing the energy efficiency of new and existing buildings. Its comprehensive, innovative approach addresses issues of research, development and commercialization via established manufacturers, emerging enterprises, collaborative intellectual property management, workforce and education, and public policy. GPIC will stimulate private investment, job creation and economic growth. GPIC, led by Penn State University, was selected through an aggressive national competition. This partnership to accelerate the regional innovation cluster represents more than 90 public, private and academic partners.
