The Chamber of Eco Commerce, CEC, founded in 2010, is a fast growing international network of innovators, investors, experts and leaders in Sustainable Innovation, and the first and most vibrant Eco Commerce network in the world. Simply, we seek to accelerate the transfer of eco-innovations and advance the business of Eco Commerce at a local level and global scale.
CEC is a global community of Business Leaders, Policy Decision Makers, Private and Institutional Investors, Venture Capitalists, Catalytic Philanthropists, Social Entrepreneurs, Corporate Intrapreneurs, and other leaders and experts. We represent Private and Public Companies, Financial Institutions, Chambers of Commerce, Government Departments of Commerce, International Trade Administrations, Trade Associations, Embassies and Consulates, Industry Service Providers, and other organizations.
CEC is an independent and privately funded sustainable innovation initiative and a business venture. CEC is accompanied by a wide range of business and financial support services nurturing the technology innovators to scale.
The core business in promoting eco innovations, stimulating investment in new technology, start ups and first application and market replication projects, is to jump-start the creation of enterprises that can accelerate green progress, transform business processes and industries, and create new business models and jobs, and to improve the competitiveness of companies.
CEC has implemented an invitation-only process. Unsolicited proposals are not accepted. We work closely with our CEC local chapters 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 London, Helsinki, Beijing and Moscow. In 2011, CEC plans to expand operations by opening satellite offices in key locations across Europe, Asia/Pacific, South America, Africa, and Middle East.
