About Us

The Clean Energy Business Innovation Portal (CEBIP) at Stony Brook University is a NYS regional innovation center and entrepreneurial ecosystem accelerating commercialization of next-generation clean energy hardware technologies. We create value for our platform partners by providing guidance, mapping connections and delivering resources that benefit all stakeholders.

Part of the Long Island High Technology Incubator (LIHTI), CEBIP is the only New York metro regional resource solely focused on hardware energy solutions, from proof-of-concept (POC) through commercial scale-up. CEBIP portfolio companies take technologies from lab to market, shaping the future of clean energy.

“CEBIP’s value is much broader than just commercializing clean tech. A lot of what they do is about educating brilliant scientists and engineers on the value of building a business.”
